Poll: Support for Intervening in Syria Falls From Really Low to Mind-Bogglingly Low
By David Weigel
That's some trendline in the Pew poll question about Syria. The pollster has been asking people, for 15 months, whether they're on board with sending aid to Syrian rebel groups. What started as a +34-point margin for "no" is now a +50 margin for no.
March 2012 was the escalation period that drove up American awareness of the situation Syria. December 2012 was a period of success for rebel groupsand more definitive criticism from the Obama administration. June 2013? Why, that's when the administration meandered toward a larger committment. And people don't want it.
Unfortunately since our opinion no longer matters the War Party will invade Syria. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
