Americans are growing less aware of the number of U.S. fatalities in Iraq. Only 28% know that nearly 4,000 American soldiers have died in the war; in a similar poll last August, 54% knew that the fatality level at that time was nearly 3,500. In the new poll, 46% underestimated the number of war deaths, while 23% overestimated it.
