As Syria War Escalates, Americans Cool To U.S. Intervention: Reuters/Ipsos Poll -- Reuters
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Americans strongly oppose U.S. intervention in Syria's civil war and believe Washington should stay out of the conflict even if reports that Syria's government used deadly chemicals to attack civilians are confirmed, a Reuters/Ipsos poll says.
About 60 percent of Americans surveyed said the United States should not intervene in Syria's civil war, while just 9 percent thought President Barack Obama should act.

My Comment: The above poll was done a few days ago .... and I doubt that there has been any appreciable movement to support a military strike on Syria since then. But if there is a war with Syria .... and if these polls are accurate .... this conflict may become the most unpopular war in U.S. history .... including Vietnam.
