Recent polls have indicated that there is very low public support for military action against Syria.
Gallup says that 68% of Americans say the United States should not use military action in Syria to attempt to end the civil war there.

Ditto a Reuters/Ipsos poll that says “Americans strongly oppose U.S. intervention in Syria’s civil war and believe Washington should stay out of the conflict even if reports that Syria’s government used deadly chemicals to attack civilians are confirmed,”
More specifically, “about 60 percent of Americans surveyed said the United States should not intervene in Syria’s civil war, while just 9 percent thought military action should be taken.”
A historical context puts an interesting paint job on these numbers …
