In setting the pace for a withdrawal of U.S. forces from Afghanistan, President Obama appears to have gotten it “about right.”

A Washington Post-Pew Research Center poll released Monday found that a large plurality of Americans believe the pace of the troop drawdown, set to begin next month, is “about right.”

The 44 percent of respondents who said so outnumber by 3 to 1 those who believe the withdrawal schedule is too hasty.
