WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Opposition to the Iraq war is at an all-time high
despite reports of a reduction of violence in the country, according to a
CNN/Opinion Research Corp. poll released Thursday.
Sixty-eight percent of poll respondents opposed the war, setting a record.
The level of opposition is slightly up from last month and 1 percentage
point higher than the previous record of 67 percent, first set in December
2006 in a CNN/Opinion Research survey....
The public also opposes U.S. military action against Iran. Sixty-three
percent oppose airstrikes on Iran, while 73 percent oppose using ground
troops in that country, the poll found.
Seventy percent said they oppose any military strike on Iran, slightly
higher than 66 percent in 2005 but significantly higher than 23 percent in
2002 in CNN/USA Today/Gallup polls.
