CHATTANOOGA — Tennesseans are split on whether the war in Iraq is worth fighting and how quickly troops should leave the country, a new poll shows.
The poll of 600 registered Tennessee voters commissioned by the Chattanooga Times Free Press and other news organizations found that 48% of voters believe the war was worth fighting, 46% said they do not and 6% are undecided. The telephone poll, conducted May 23-24 by Research 2000, has an error margin of plus or minus 4 percentage points.
Among party affiliation, 67% of Democrats polled believe the war was not worth fighting while 68% of Republicans agree with the effort.
Respondents also were split on when the United States should leave Iraq, with most favoring a gradual withdrawal from the area — 47%. Thirty-seven percent said the troops should remain indefinitely, 7% said the removal should happen immediately and 9% were undecided.
