Forty-seven percent (47%) of America's voters expect the situation in Iraq to get worse during the coming months. A Rasmussen Reports survey found that just 28% expect things to get better.

Two weeks ago, both of those numbers were a bit higher as 50% said things would get worse and 30% better.

Most Republicans say the situation in Iraq will get better while 62% of Democrats say it will get worse. Demographics are available for RR Premium Members.

The survey also found that 41% believe that the U.S. is safer today than it was before the 9/11 attacks. With the exception of a slight bounce following the President's April Press Conference, these numbers have remained fairly stable.

Ten days ago, 41% of Americans thought it was at least somewhat likely that Iraq would become peaceful and free. That has fallen to 39% today.
