American's confidence that the United States and its allies are winning the war on terror has fallen to its lowest level since 2006.

A national telephone survey by Rasmussen Reports, which has fended off years of criticisms of harboring a conservative bias, found just 32 percent of likely U.S. voters now believe the United States and its allies are winning the war on terror, down eight points from a month ago.

Twenty-four percent of respondents thought the insurgents were winning and 39 percent said neither side was winning.

According to the survey, most Americans believe that the situation in Afghanistan will get worse over the next six months while only 19 percent of voters expect it to get better.
