The war in Afghanistan is the least popular war in American history, according to a new poll.

The CNN/ORC International Poll found that 82 percent oppose the conflict, as compared to 17 percent who support it.

One-third of Americans said they believed the U.S. was winning the war in Afghanistan, while 57 percent thought it was going badly, Politico reports.

A slim majority also believe that troops should leave the country before December 2014, the current deadline.
