Poll: Most Americans favor Iraq withdrawal policy
About three-quarters of Americans favor withdrawing American soldiers from Iraqi cities and towns, a new CNN poll finds.
That withdrawal is being made official today, which is the deadline for U.S. combat troops to be out of Iraqi cities.
73% of those polled favor the withdrawal, including 72% of Democrats and, somewhat surprisingly, 74% of Republicans.
Yet almost two-thirds say troops should go back into cities if violence escalates significantly. 52% of those polled believe some increase in violence is likely.
The poll’s margin of error is +/- 3%
