Teen Support for Iraq War Wanes
Illustrator: PJBF with Apologies to James Montgomery Flagg
A July poll by Harris Interactive shows that significantly fewer teens, aged 13 to 18, support the war in Iraq. One quarter of those surveyed (24 percent) said they supported the war, compared to 48 percent in April 2003, shortly after the war began.
In April 2003, 28 percent of teenagers polled said they would be likely to volunteer to fight in Iraq if they were old enough. That percentage has fallen to 11 percent.
