New poll: Syria intervention even less popular than Congress

60%, according to this poll, oppose U.S. Involvement in Syria. And only 9% support military intervention. For those who are always grousing about how criticism of the President will keep people away from the polls in 2014, what kind of effect do you think a strike against Syria is likely to have for Democrats, given these numbers? Hmm?

"You can't get 60% of Americans to agree on what color the sky is, but apparently, most of us have had quite enough of this whole eternal war thing, thank you very much."

60% opposition ought to give any President serious pause . . .
