MOSCOW (Sputnik) — According to a CNN/ORC survey, 40 percent of respondents said that terrorists were currently winning the war against the United States and its allies. A total of 40 percent believe that neither side is winning, while only 18 percent said that the US-led campaign was successful.
Almost three out of four respondents — 74 percent — expressed dissatisfaction "with the way things are going for the US in the war on terrorism," including 41 percent who said they were "not at all satisfied" and 33 percent "not too satisfied" with the campaign results.
The United States has waged the War on Terror since 2001, with major military operations in Afghanistan and Iraq, and current operations against the Islamic State (IS or Daesh, outlawed in Russia) in Syria and Iraq.
