If President Obama decides to take military action against Syria in the wake of the regime’s alleged chemical attacks against civilians, it’s going to be a very unpopular move.

(Reuters) - 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, a Reuters/Ipsos poll says.

About 60 percent of Americans surveyed said the United States should not intervene in Syria’s civil war, while just 9 percent thought President Barack Obama should act.
