CNN Poll: Support for Afghanistan war drops Posted: August 6th, 2009 03:15 PM ET WASHINGTON (CNN) — A new national poll indicates that support among Americans for the war in Afghanistan has hit a new low. Forty-one percent of people questioned in a CNN/Opinion Research Corporation survey released Thursday say they favor the war in Afghanistan — down 9 points from May, when CNN polling suggested that half of the public supported the war. Fifty-four percent say they oppose the war in Afghanistan, up 6 points from May. "Afghanistan is almost certainly the Obama policy that Republicans like the most," says CNN Polling Director Keating Holland. "Nearly two-thirds of Republicans support the war in Afghanistan. Three-quarters of Democrats oppose the war." A record 44 United States troops were killed in Afghanistan in July, and 11 have been killed so far this month. The CNN/Opinion Research Corporation poll was conducted 7/31-8/3, with 1,136 adult Americans questioned by telephone. The survey's sampling error is plus or minus 3 percentage points –CNN Deputy Political Director Paul Steinhauser contributed to this report politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com

Baitullah Mehsud killed in US drone attack? Rezaul H Laskar and Lalit K Jha Islamabad/Washington, Aug 7(PTI) Tehreek-e-Taliban chief Baitullah Mehsud may have been killed in a US drone attack in South Waziristan and Pakistani and American officials are collecting "physical evidence" to confirm his death. Quoting unnamed senior Administration officials, the ABC News said the US and Pakistani officials now believe that Mehsud, a key al-Qaeda facilitator in Pakistan, is "very likely" killed in Wednesday's pre-dawn attack that also resulted in the death of his second wife. The drone fired two missiles at the home of Mehsud's father-in-law Malik Ikramuddin, killing up to four people. Pakistan's Interior Minister Rehman Malik was quoted by TV news channels as saying there were reports that Mehsud was killed in the missile strike but there was no "concrete proof" of his death. Chief Military spokesman Athar Abbas said Mehsud's death was not yet confirmed. ptinews.com
