Just 28% of Likely Voters now believe that history will judge the U.S. mission in Iraq a success. That’s a five-point decline over the past month and matches the lowest level of confidence ever measured. The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that 53% believe history will judge the mission a failure. That’s up from 49% last month. Only 25% think things will get better in Iraq over the next six months. That’s down from 30% in April. Forty-seven percent (47%) expect things to get worse.
