Poll: Just 27% Support War In Afghanistan

Support for the war in Afghanistan appears to be at an all-time low, according to a new AP-GfK poll.

Only 27 percent of respondents said that they supported the war while 66 percent said they were opposed. Of the 66 percent, 40 percent said they were strongly against the decade long conflict.

The poll comes shortly before the NATO Summit in Chicago, an international meeting that will solidify the agreement for a transition of security responsibilities in 2014 as well as a limited American presence in the years beyond.
