Americans Wake Up to War on Terror Reality

Americans had long been convinced by Democrats and other anti-war propagandists that the U.S. is losing the War on Terror, and its most important battle in Iraq. The likes of Harry Reid have called the Iraq war "lost" and Barack Obama says we have become less safe because of our execution of the War on Terror.

Well, the latest Rasmussen poll has some striking numbers on Americans' perception of the War on Terror:

Over half of American voters (51%) now believe the United States and its allies are winning the war on terror, the highest figure recorded in nearly four years by Rasmussen Reports in a nationwide survey.

Only 16% now think the terrorists are on top, while 27% view it as a stalemate. Prior to this week’s survey, the number who believe the terrorists are winning had never fallen below 20%.

Last July, just 36% thought the U.S. and its allies were winning. At that time, an equal number—36%--thought the terrorists were ahead.

And on the Iraq War too:

Forty-two percent (42%) now think the situation in Iraq will improve over the next six months. That’s up from 37% a week ago and 23% a year ago.

Only 23% now expect things to get worse in Iraq, down from 49% last July.

All I have to say to the Democrats and Barack Obama is, I'm sorry. I am very sorry Americans are finally catching up to the fact that we are fighting the War on Terror quite well. Hey, I'm sorry that we are winning the war, period. You will have to find another issue to needlessly drag the country into the ground for.
