Support the troops, bring them home!

That’s what Americans are thinking as per the latest Rasmussen Reports.  Americans want our soldiers back home, most saying that they’d like to see that happen within the next year. Here are a few of the results from the February 19th polling:

A Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey found that 61% of Americans would like to see U.S. troops brought home from Iraq within a year. That’s up a point from a week ago and two points from two weeks ago. Over the last eighteen weeks, the number wanting troops home within a year has ranged from a low of 57% to a high of 64%.

Twenty-four percent (24%) now want the troops brought home immediately.

Looking at the other end of the spectrum, 34% want troops to remain in Iraq until the mission is complete. That is down two points from a week ago. The number of Americans who want the troops to remain and finish the mission had ranged from 32% to 39% since tracking began.
