War Support Compared


Support for the Iraq War has dropped faster than that for either the Korean or Vietnam Wars.

The Christian Science Monitor measured the time it took for popular support for all three wars to drop below 50% on the Gallup poll.

It took years for Vietnam to drop below 50% -- in August 1968.

A year and a half for the Korean War to hit the halfway mark in March, 1952.

And just slightly less than that for the Iraq war to cross the 50% threshold in June, 2004. (CSM -- Click on Christian Science Monitor Graphic to read the whole story)
