They’re finally beginning to wake up. Republicans are finally realizing that a never-ending war in Iraq will take us further off the path to peace and economic prosperity for America.
Last week, we brought you a Gallop poll that found only 43% of Republicans agreed with the President’s decision to bring all our troops home. This week however, they have apparently seen the light as this new CBS poll shows – a majority of Republicans are now on board with the President’s decision.
Three in four Americans support President Obama’s decisions to withdraw U.S. troops from Iraq by the end of the year, a new CBS News survey finds. Seventy-seven percent approve of the decision, including 63 percent of Republicans. Just 17 percent disapprove.
The position appears to be grounded in a sense that America made a mistake in entering Iraq in the first place. Sixty-seven percent of Americans say the result of the Iraq war was not worth the loss of American life and other costs associated with the war, while just 24 percent say it was worth it. Republicans are more likely to say the war was worth the costs, but even among Republicans, one in two say it was not worth it.
