Poll: Plurality Believes War in Iraq Will Be judged a Success

Move America Forward has worked relentlessly to support our men and women in uniform, and to stand behind their mission in the war against radical jihadists. Because the mainstream media had a different tact, echoing their leaders in the liberal Congress, public opinion has weighed against the war against America’s enemies in Iraq under Saddam Hussein.
Now the tide is changing, as it should. Our men and women of the Armed Forces will NEVER lose a war as long as the American people stand with them.

Rasmussen Reports finds the following:

For the first time since Rasmussen Reports began polling on the issue, a plurality of voters in September say the U.S. mission in Iraq will be viewed as a success in the long term.
In a national telephone survey Monday night, 41% said history will rate the war in Iraq a success versus 39% who said it will be seen as a failure, with 20% undecided (see crosstabs). These findings echo those of the previous two weeks (see trends).
By contrast, in August of last year, 57% believed history would judge the U.S. mission in Iraq a failure, and only 29% disagreed.
Nearly half of voters (48%) also believe the situation in Iraq will get better in the next six months versus 22% who believe it will get worse. Twenty-three percent (23%) expect things to stay about the same. The number of those who see the situation getting better has been steadily rising throughout the summer as violence has gone down in the war-torn country.
