Zogby Interactive: Voters Say Obama's Deliberation on Afghan Troop levels
Show Weakness

73% Say Afghan War Important to U.S. Security, Afghan Government Not
Reliable


UTICA, New York - A Zogby Interactive poll of nearly 2,300 likely voters
conducted from Nov. 4-6 found a plurality (48%) saying President Obama's
deliberations on whether to increase Afghan troop levels showed weakness on
his part, rather than strength.

The survey also showed 73% both saying the war in Afghanistan is important
to U.S. security and that the current Afghan government is not a reliable
partner. The margin of error is +/-2.1%, and higher for subgroups.

Respondents were offered two statements about Obama's decision-making on
increasing troops in Afghanistan. One said that Obama was showing strength
by deliberating, gathering information from field commanders and assessing
the political situation after the Afghan elections. The other said that
delaying showed weakness since field commanders have made clear they need
more troops and the Afghan political situation is already known. Here are
the results of that question, with breakdowns by party affiliation and
ideology.
