The charts above reflect the results of the newest Economist / YouGov Poll -- done between August 27th and 29th of a random national sample of 1,500 adults (including 1,278 registered voters), with a 3 point margin of error.
Donald Trump was shocked recently to learn how poorly the U.S. is doing in the Afghan War, so he's decided to send more troops to that country. He was sadly mistaken if he thought that's what the American people wanted though.
By a 17 point margin, the public thinks we're losing the Afghan War. But they don't want more troops sent there -- by a 14 point margin. And they don't think Trump has a clear plan for winning that war -- by a 27 point margin.
After nearly 16 years, I think the American people are tired of fighting a war that has no clearly achievable goals.
