War on Terror Update: Only 31% Say U.S. and Allies Winning War on Terror

In the lowest display of confidence in the United States' position in the war on terror since Rasmussen Reports began polling on the subject two years ago, just 31% of American adults say the U.S. and its allies are winning the War on Terror. That's a 10-point drop since our last poll taken in the days immediately following the fifth anniversary of 9/11.


For the first time since polling began, a plurality of respondents give the advantage to the terrorists--36% say they're ahead in the war on terror. Twenty-two percent (22%) say neither side is winning.

During Election 2004, a majority of Americans consistently believed the U.S. was winning and fewer than 30% believed the terrorists had the advantage.

Today, most (54%) believe that the situation in
Iraq will get worse over the next six months--a six-point increase since last month. Twenty-four percent (24%) say it will improve and 12% say it will stay the same.

The whole sham is falling apart.

What are the criteria by which they judge the success of this war? What are their metrics?

I believe that these 31% have "faith" that the "war" is going well. They have no means by which to gauge "progress" against the "terrorists."

Let's see:

300,000,000 people

X .31

= 93,000,000

Even factoring in kids, this is a lot of stupid people, naive people and/or people living in denial.
