Poll: Afghans' faith in U.S. dives as insurgents gain support
Updated 12/6/2010 2:10 PM

KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) — Afghans have less faith now than a year ago in the ability of U.S.-led NATO forces to control violence in their country, according to a poll released Monday.

The poll found that 36% of Afghans express confidence in the U.S. and NATO forces to provide security and stability — down from 48% last year. It also found that acceptance of attacks against U.S. forces has risen sharply even as the coalition works to curtail civilian deaths.
