| Adjust font size: |
Sixty percent of Americans oppose the US war in Iraq, according to a latest CNN poll. It is the highest percentage of opposition to the war in CNN polls since March 2003, CNN said Wednesday. The survey, conducted among 1,047 adult Americans last week, also found a majority of respondents, 61 percent, support pulling back at least some US troops from Iraq by this year-end and 57 percent said they favor a timetable for withdrawal. In contrast, the Bush administration has maintained that setting a timetable or deadline for withdrawal would only help terrorists. The poll also indicated that Americans were nearly evenly split on whether the United States will win the war in Iraq. Forty-seven percent of respondents either said the United States will "definitely win" or "probably win." Another 48 percent either said the United States could not win, or could win -- but will not win. (Xinhua News Agency August 10, 2006)
