HomeUSA More Americans than ever say ‘Terrorists are winning’ – poll

Forty percent of Americans believe the United States and its Western proxies are losing to “the terrorists,” a record high since the attacks of September 11, 2001, according to a new poll.

Almost three-quarters of Americans say they are not satisfied "with the way things are going for the U.S. in the war on terrorism," according to a CNN/ORC poll, a marked increase from the previous high of 61 percent recorded by CNN pollsters in August 2007.

The 40 percent of poll respondents who said the terrorists are getting the upper hand over the American-led military machine – which has included Western-NATO allies and Middle Eastern regimes such as Saudi Arabia – represents a 17-percent increase from the previous high of 23 percent who said the same thing in August 2005.

Another 40 percent said "neither side" is winning, while 18 percent said the US and its allies were gaining ground. Fifty-five percent of Republicans say the terrorists are winning, with 52 percent of Democrats agreeing.
