42 percent of Republican voters support the U.S.' withdrawal from Afghanistan. George W. Bush is not one of them.
A new poll revealed that 59 percent of registered voters "support the plan to withdraw all troops" from Afghanistan by the end of August, Politico reports via a survey with Morning Consult. Only 25 percent of respondents said they were opposed.
The support more specifically includes 76 percent of Democrats, 59 percent of independents and 42 percent of Republicans. However, "more than seven in 10" respondents were nonetheless "concerned that the country will become a safe haven for violence and terrorism" following a U.S. withdrawal, Politico writes.
