As you may know, the U.S. has sent more than 20,000 additional troops to Iraq. From what you have heard or read, would you say this troop increase is making the situation in Iraq better, making it worse, or is it having no impact on the situation in Iraq so far?

| Better | 29% | 19% |
| Worse | 15% | 20% |
| No impact | 46% | 51% |
| Unsure | 10% | 7% |
From what you have seen or heard about the situation in Iraq, what should the United States do now? Should the U.S. increase the number of U.S. troops in Iraq, keep the same number of U.S. troops in Iraq as there are now, decrease the number of U.S. troops in Iraq, or remove all its troops from Iraq?

| Same | 17% | 15% |
| Decrease | 31% | 39% |
| Remove all | 30% | 36% |
| Unsure | 9% | 7% |
Looking back, do you think the United States did the right thing in taking military action against Iraq, or should the U.S. have stayed out?
