A Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey found that 60% of Americans would like to see U.S. troops brought home from Iraq within a year. That's up a point from two weeks ago, but down three points from three weeks ago. Over the last seventeen weeks, the number wanting troops home within a year has ranged from a low of 57% to a high of 64%.

Twenty-five percent (25%) now want the troops brought home immediately. That result is equal to that of a week ago.

Looking at the other end of the spectrum, 36% want troops to remain in Iraq until the mission is complete. That is only a point above the percentage from last week. The number wanting the troops to remain and finish the mission had ranged from 32% to 39%.

There are strong partisan differences when it comes to the War. While 85% of Democrats would like to see the troops brought home within a year, only 31% of Republicans would like to see the same. Sixty-six percent (66%) of Republicans want the troops to stay until the mission is complete.

Men and women also disagree on when the troops should come home. While 44% of men would like to see the troops stay until the mission is complete, only 29% of women agree. Sixty-six percent (66%) of women want the troops brought home within a year, while 53% of men say the same.

Rasmussen Reports has been tracking this question weekly since late August. The survey was conducted in partnership with Fox Television Stations, Inc.
