War on Terror Update
Confidence in War on Terror Grows to Highest Level in Three Years
Sunday, February 10, 2008
The latest Rasmussen Reports tracking poll finds that 49% of Americans now say the U.S. and its allies are winning the War on Terror (see crosstabs). That’s up from 43% a month ago and is the highest level of confidence measured in more than three years.
Not only that, just 23% now believe the terrorists are winning. That’s down two points from a month ago and down seven points from 30% three months ago. It’s the lowest level of pessimism recorded during the President’s second term in office.
For the third straight month, a plurality expects that the situation in Iraq will get better over the next six months. The Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey found that 36% of all American voters take that optimistic view. Thirty percent (30%) take the opposite view and expect things to get worse.
The change in perceptions concerning Iraq over the past eight months are remarkable. While 30% continue to offer a pessimistic assessment of the next six months in Iraq, that figure was 49% in July. Today, 36% expect things to get better, that’s up from 23% last July.
