U.S. Investment Immigration focuses on U.S. Living updates: A poll released on the 9th shows that despite the U.S. government claiming to have evidence that the Syrian government used chemical weapons against its people, the majority of Americans still oppose military action against Syria.
According to this poll conducted by CNN and ORC International, about 59% of Americans do not support Congress authorizing President Obama to carry out military strikes against Syria. Even if Congress votes to authorize, 55% of Americans still oppose military action against Syria. If Congress does not pass the authorization resolution, approximately 71% of Americans oppose Obama taking military action against Syria without congressional authorization.
On the 9th, the U.S. Senate began discussions on the resolution to authorize military strikes against Syria, with a vote expected later this week. If the Senate approves the authorization, the House of Representatives is expected to begin discussions on the authorization resolution next week.
The U.S. government released an intelligence assessment report on August 30, stating that the Syrian government forces have used chemical weapons multiple times over the past year, and the Obama administration is using this as a basis to seek congressional authorization for military action against Syria. However, the Syrian side denies this accusation.
