Public confidence in U.S. military is up

Public confidence in the U.S. military has jumped to where it was at the beginning of the Iraq war in 2003, according to a new Gallup poll.

The poll found that 82 percent of Americans expressed high confidence in the military. Public confidence went up 11 percentage points from last year and is catching up to the record high of 85 percent during the 1991 Gulf War.

The numbers are up now from the low marks of the last few years that signaled a lack of confidence in American success in Afghanistan and Iraq.
