WASHINGTON — The number of Americans who say the war in Afghanistan is worth fighting has increased for the first time since President Barack Obama announced in 2009 that he would boost troop levels, according to a new Washington Post- ABC News poll. In the poll, conducted last week, 43 percent of Americans say the war is worth fighting, compared with 31 percent in March. A significant amount of the fresh support came from the independent voters Obama is courting as he campaigns for re-election. But a majority still say the war, now in its 10th year, is not worth fighting, despite the killing last month of Osama bin Laden. Denver Post wire services
