A year after the war on Iraq began with overwhelming support from the public, Americans are about evenly split over whether the conflict was worth it, and a majority want to pay less or nothing to rebuild Iraq, the University of Pennsylvania’s National Annenberg Election Survey shows.
Among 2,575 adults interviewed between March 1 and 15, 1,249 were asked, “All in all, do you think the situation in Iraq was worth going to war over, or not?” Forty-six percent said yes and 49 percent said no. The margin of sampling error was plus or minus three percentage points.
