A majority of Americans now believe "the U.S. will ultimately succeed in achieving its goals" in Iraq, according to the Pew Research Center.

The Politico translates this into "Support for war effort highest since 2006". If that's an accurate way of reading it, McCain's unwavering stance on the war will continue to benefit him.
