Most Americans opposed to Afghanistan war

A new opinion poll shows that opposition to the Afghan war is at an all-time high in America.

A new CNN/Opinion Research poll (PDF) released on Thursday shows that more than six in ten Americans are now opposed to the war in Afghanistan.

There is also a growing pessimism in the American public about the way things are going for the US in the war, the poll suggests.

In response to a question on how ‘things are going’ in the war zone 56 percent responded with ‘moderately badly’ or ‘very badly.’
