By an overwhelming 22% margin, our readers want all American troops out of Iraq in the next six months. Clearly, the pressure to withdraw is growing because even a withdrawal early next year is not soon enough for a majority of our readers. Patience, not only among our readers but also among the American public, is wearing thin. Increasingly, the timeline indicated by voters for bringing the troops home is getting shorter and shorter.

One can’t help but wonder what the margin would have been if it had been one year instead of the six months on the question. Here is the question that was asked:

Do you support withdrawing all American troops from Iraq by the end of this year?

Yes: 61.3%
No: 39.7%
