"Gallup Finds Increasing Frustration Over War", The New York Times, October 19, 1969
A Gallup Poll showed that by 1969, more and more Americans believed it was a mistake to send U.S. troops to Vietnam, with about 6 in 10 people holding this view. Public frustration had grown steadily since 1964, increasing as U.S. casualties rose and confidence in government leaders fell. Many Americans were impatient for a new direction and felt President Nixon was not doing enough to change U.S. policy in Vietnam.
