                  Americans Evenly Divided on Syrian Diplomacy

   An opinion poll in the United States about the whether diplomatic
   efforts to dismantle Syria`s chemical-weapons arsenal will succeed
   shows Americans evenly divided.
   A Gallup poll released Friday indicates that 45% of Americans are at
   least somewhat optimistic about the plan; 44% say they doubt it will
   succeed.
   The survey asked for respondents` views about "Russia`s Syrian
   chemical-weapons plan." It was conducted during the two days following
   President Barack Obama`s speech to the nation this week, in which he
   said U.S. military action against Syria is still possible, but also
   noted efforts to reach a diplomatic solution.
   The survey showed a widening majority of Americans oppose any U.S.
   military action against Syria - 62% this week, compared to 53% eight
   days earlier.
