Mass Majority Of Americans Favor US Withdrawal From Iraq

Three In Four Americans Back Obama On Iraq Withdrawal -- Gallop

Republicans more likely to disapprove than approve.

PRINCETON, NJ -- Americans widely support President Obama's recent decision to withdraw nearly all U.S. troops from Iraq by the end of the year, with 75% approving. That includes the vast majority of Democrats and independents. Republicans, however, are slightly more likely to disapprove than approve.

These results are based on an Oct. 29-30 Gallup poll. On Oct. 21, Obama announced that U.S. troops would be out of Iraq by the end of the year. Only a small U.S. force would remain to guard the U.S. embassy, among other responsibilities. The U.S. ended combat operations in Iraq in August 2010.
