A Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey found that 63% of Americans would like to see U.S. troops brought home from Iraq within a year. For the third week in a row, that figure is up two points from the week before. Over the last twelve weeks, the number wanting troops home within a year has ranged from a low of 57% to a high of 64%.

Twenty-eight percent (28%) now want the troops brought home immediately. That’s also up two points from a week ago.

Looking at the other end of the spectrum, 32% now want troops to remain in Iraq until the mission is complete. That figure has ranged from 32% to 38% over the past twelve weeks.

A separate survey found that confidence in the overall War on Terror has increased over the past month.

Sixty-nine percent (69%) of women want troops out of Iraq within a year. Fifty-seven percent (57%) of men share that view.

All questions concerning Iraq reveal stark partisan differences.

Eighty-three percent (83%) of Democrats want the troops to come home within a year. Fifty-three percent (63%) of Republicans believe the troops should remain until the mission is complete.

As for those not affiliated with either major party, 61% want the troops home within a year. Thirty-two percent (32%) take the opposite view and say they should remain.

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