More than half of Americans now disagree with President Bush’s argument that the war in Iraq will make the United States safer from terrorists, a Washington Post-ABC News poll found.
Almost three-quarters of the randomly selected 1,002 adults interviewed by phone Thursday through Sunday said the number of casualties was unacceptably high, and a record 58% said the war wasn’t worth fighting.
The poll found that 52% of Americans believed that the war in Iraq hadn’t made the U.S. more secure from terrorist attacks, while 47% said it had. The poll’s margin of error was described as plus or minus 3 percentage points.
