Six-in-Ten Say Opposition May Be No Better than Current Government

Overview

Broad majorities continue to oppose the U.S. and its allies sending arms and military supplies to anti-government groups in Syria. Last Thursday’s announcement that the U.S. would aid the rebels has not increased public support for action, and majorities of all partisan groups are opposed.

Overall, 70% oppose the U.S. and its allies sending arms and military supplies to anti-government groups in Syria; just 20% favor this. Opinion is little changed from December of last year (24% favor) and support is down slightly from March, 2012 (29% favor).

  1. On this day in 1812 President James Madison, for whom my great, great grandfather was named a few years before, signed a declaration of war against Britain. Britain attacked our homeland. Today I have to wonder if Madison would want to even arm our own standing army let alone a group, like al-Qaeda, which is sworn to destroy us.

    If any still hold an illusion of "states rights", check out yesterday's Supreme Court insanity. Like Johnny American Horse in "The Moon of the Red Ponies" I don't belong in this century.

    Nor I, dear Sir. Should have been born in 1820 and died in the War.
