56% of Americans now favor withdrawing U.S. forces from Iraq as soon as possible
After a brief positive shift in February, the public’s perceptions of the war in Iraq have turned more negative, with disapproval of the intitial decision to use military force reaching a new high of 57%; in addition, 56% of Americans now favor withdrawing U.S. forces from Iraq as soon as possible, the highest proportion in nearly a year (56% in June 2007). Opinions about withdrawing U.S. troops -- like other attitudes regarding Iraq -- remain deeply polarized politically. About seven-in-ten Republicans (72%) favor keeping U.S. troops in Iraq until the situation is stable, compared with 40% of independents and just 20% of Democrats. However, support for maintaining U.S. troops in Iraq has slipped among all three groups since February.
