WASHINGTON: Sixty percent of Americans, surveyed in an ABC News/Washington Post poll on Thursday, believe that the war in Afghanistan is not worth fighting. Dissatisfaction with the war has risen seven points since July, according to the ABC News. On a cost-benefit basis, only 34 percent of those polled believe the war has been worth fighting, down nine points and setting a new low. Obama got mixed reviews for handling the war effort - 45 percent of those surveyed approve of Obama’s work on Afghanistan, while 46 percent disapprove. Fifty-four percent also support Obama’s pledge to start withdrawing the US forces from Afghanistan in mid-2011, up by 15 points since it was announced a year ago.
