Iraq dominated the headlines throughout the fall of 2002 and into the winter of 2003. Public opinion on the wisdom of war, however, stabilized relatively early and slightly in favor of war. Gallup found that from August 2002 through early March 2003 the share of Americans favoring war hovered in a relatively narrow range between a low of 52 percent and a high of 59 percent. By contrast, the share of the public opposed to war fluctuated between 35 percent and 43 percent.

Looks like Americans are even more happy with murdering people if its done by a puppet.

    The poll also shows that it's only 27% in ages 18-34. Every age range is less and less propagandized on Israel. So that's nice.

      Boomers definitely have some type of brain poison on the Israel issue, they collectively all just are evil on this issue

      We get to see what happens as a population continues to become more aware while their government continues to repeatedly do the wrong thing anyway.

      27% is fucking insanely low. Americans are the most propagandized people on earth, Jesus fuck.

        That's 27% of young people supporting Israel's response to the attacks. I'm actually shocked it's not higher.
