Forty-three percent (43%) say the mission will be judged as a success in the long term, while 35% say it will seen as a failure. Another 23% are undecided.
Fifty-four percent (54%) of voters think the U.S. is safer today than it was before the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks. That’s up from 51% in the last poll and is the highest level of confidence ever found. Twenty-seven percent (27%) disagree, while 19% are not sure.
