Voters aren’t enthusiastic about President Obama’s plan to expand the
military's fighting mission in Afghanistan, but they’re slightly more
confident an American win is possible in the nation’s longest-running war.
The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that 39% of
Likely U.S. Voters now consider Afghanistan a vital national security
interest for the United States, up slightly from 32% in February and 36% in
late May. Just as many (39%) disagree, but that’s down from 48% six months
ago. A sizable 22% are still not sure.
The survey of 1,000 Likely Voters was conducted on November 24-25, 2014 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.
