A Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey found that 65% of Americans would like to see U.S. troops brought home from Iraq within a year. That's the highest total recorded in the tracking poll which has been conducted regularly since August of last year. The 65% total is up six points from two weeks ago, but just a single point higher than the total from a month ago.
"
Twenty-six percent (26%) want the troops brought home immediately, up three points from the last survey.
Looking at the other end of the spectrum, 31% want troops to remain in Iraq until the mission is complete. That figure has ranged from 31% to 39% since tracking began.
"
The survey also found that 32% believe the troop "surge" has worked while 43% disagree and say it has not. Sixty-one percent (61%) of Republicans say the surge has worked. Fifty-nine percent (59%) of Democrats say it has not along with 51% of those not affiliated with either major party.
"
The desire to bring home the troops has risen among both men and women. Fifty-nine percent (59%) of men want the troops home within a year, up four points from two weeks ago. Among women, that total is 69%, up from 62% two weeks ago.

This telephone survey of 1,000 Adults was conducted by Rasmussen Reports in partnership with FOX Television Stations, Inc. on April 1-2, 2008. The margin of sampling error for the survey is +/- 3 percentage points with a 95% level of confidence.
