52% Think U.S. Should Have Stayed Out of Iraq
Monday, March 25, 2013
Ten years after the U.S. invasion of Iraq, voters tend to think both the United States and Iraq are better off because of the war, but just over half still don’t believe America should ever have been involved there.
A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that 31% of Likely U.S. Voters think, looking back, that the United States should have gotten involved with Iraq. Fifty-two percent (52%) disagree and oppose that involvement. Seventeen percent (17%) are not sure. (To see survey question wording, click here.)
The survey of 1,000 Likely Voters was conducted on March 22-23, 2013 by Rasmussen Reports. The margin of sampling error is +/- 3 percentage points with a 95% level of confidence. Field work for all Rasmussen Reports surveys is conducted by Pulse Opinion Research, LLC. See methodology.
