Even as the Obama administration is discussing threadbare the option of sending more troops to Afghanistan, a latest opinion poll by a US daily showed on Wednesday that Americans are bitterly divided over the issue, with majority opposing dispatching extra forces.
While 47 per cent of the respondents said they support the recommendation of Gen Stanley McChrystal, Commander of US and NATO forces in Afghanistan, to send thousands of more troops to the country, as many as 49 per cent said they strongly oppose it.
The nationwide poll by 'The Washington Post' and 'ABC News' was released today, a day after it was announced in Kabul that Afghanistan was heading for a run-off to the Presidential elections as the certified results of the August 20 elections showed that none of the candidates received more than 50 per cent of the total votes polled.
