Doubts over war on terror campaign (Britain)

Only a tiny minority of British people believe that the US and UK are winning the War on Terror, a poll has revealed.

Fewer than one in 10 people - just 7% - said that the US-led campaign was being won, the YouGov poll for Sky News to mark the anniversary of the September 11 attacks found.

By contrast nearly a quarter (22%) of the more than 2,000 people questioned said that they thought the two countries were losing the War on Terror while half said that they were "neither winning nor losing".

Among the most striking findings from the survey was the fatalism expressed.
