According to a ComRes survey, 57 percent British people oppose President Barack Obama's plan for military strikes against the Assad regime, while only 29 percent agreed, The Independent reports.
David Cameron and Nick Clegg have rejected all-party pressure from MPs for another Commons vote on whether British forces should join air strikes in Syria.

Labour party will not propose a second vote unless there is a "very significant" change, the report added.
Four out-of-five people (80 percent) believed that any military strikes against Syria should first be sanctioned by the United Nations, while 15 per cent disagree with it.
