NEW YORK The latest Gallup poll, released today, finds that not only is there increasing public frustration with the war in Iraq, but the public "is not too confident that the United States and its allies are winning the war against terrorism," Gallup reports.
About a third of Americans think the United States is winning the war on terror, while 20% say the terrorists are winning; 41% say neither side is winning.
This is the second consecutive survey in which 20% of respondents say the terrorists are winning. The number saying the U.S. is winning, 36%, is the lowest mark in more than two years. Not surprisingly, Democrats are less likely to say the U.S. winning, while young people (age 18-29) are most likely, with nearly half of them believing it.
