Poll: More Than Half of US Adults Support Afghan Pullout

VOA News

   More than half of American adults, 54%, believe the decision to pull
   U.S. troops out of Afghanistan after 20 years of war was the "right
   one," according to the Pew Research Center.

   Some 42% of U.S. adults surveyed said the decision to withdraw was
   "wrong."

   The survey was conducted Aug. 23-29, before the pullout was completed.
   Sixty-nine percent of the respondents said the U.S. largely failed to
   achieve its goals in Afghanistan.

   About one fourth, 26%, said the Biden administration did an "excellent"
   or "good" job in its "handling of the situation in Afghanistan."
   Twenty-nine percent said the administration had done a "fair" job while
   42% said it had performed poorly.

   Some information for this report came from the Associated Press and
   Reuters.
