Voter confidence in America’s conduct of the War on Terror has fallen to its lowest level since the first week of January in 2007. Voters are also much less optimistic about the course of the war in Iraq.

New Rasmussen Reports national telephone polling finds that just 34% of voters say the United States and its allies are winning the War on Terror. That’s down nine points from a month ago and 21 points from when Barack Obama first took office.

Twenty-nine percent (29%) believe terrorists are winning that war, and 31% say neither side is ahead.

As recently as April, 28% said the terrorists were on top, but numbers consistently at that level haven’t been seen since late 2007. The belief by 31% that neither side is winning is the highest such finding in at least three years.

Just 24% say the situation in Iraq will be better in the next six months, down seven points from 31% a month ago and the lowest finding since May of last year. Thirty-seven percent (37%) say things will get worse there in the next six months, and 30% expect them to stay about the same.

With October the deadliest month for U.S. casualties since the war began in October 2001, it’s less surprising to find that 57% believe the situation in Afghanistan will worsen in the next six months. This number is slightly higher than in the two previous months and has been worsening since June. Only 13% say the situation in Afghanistan will be better six months from now, and 20% think it will be about the same.

Still, largely unchanged for months is the view by 45% that America is safer today than before the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks. Thirty-six percent (36%) disagree and say the country is not safer. Nineteen percent (19%) are not sure.

Republicans are consistently more pessimistic on all these questions than are Democrats or voters not affiliated with either major party.

Iran remains at the top of a list of seven countries as the nation that poses a bigger national security threat to the United States. Twenty-eight percent (28%) of all voters cite Iran, followed by 18% who think North Korea is a bigger concern. Seventeen percent (17%) name China.

Afghanistan is now the first choice of 11% of voters, followed by seven percent (7%) who say Pakistan and four percent (4%) each who list Iraq and Russia.

Forty-five percent (45%) of voters say it is possible for the United States to win the eight-year-old war in Afghanistan, but 29% disagree and another 25% aren’t sure.

Forty-two percent (42%) say the United States cannot win the war in Afghanistan if Pakistan remains unstable.

Following her trip to Pakistan last week, 59% approve of the job Hillary Clinton is doing as secretary of State while 37% disapprove.

Only 16% say America’s relationship with the Muslim world will be better one year from now, the lowest level measured all year. Thirty-three percent (33%) say that relationship will be worse, and 44% think it will stay about the same.
