Poll: U.S. mission in Iraq likely to be viewed a failure.

New Rasmussen poll finds that 50 percent of the American public believe that “in the long run, the U.S. mission in Iraq will be seen as a failure,” compared to just 33 percent who believe it will be a success.

A new CNN poll also finds that “69 percent of Americans say things are going badly for the United States in Iraq. That’s the most negative assessment yet recorded.”
