ELON, N.C. -- A majority of North Carolina residents say they doubt that President Bush has a clear plan for winding down the war in Iraq, a poll released Friday found.

People who say they question the war's prospects increased by nearly 7 percentage points since September to 56 percent of the military-heavy state's population, the poll by Elon University said.

Forty-three percent of those North Carolina residents surveyed also said the Pentagon should cut the number of troops in Iraq, while 37 percent said the United States should keep current troop levels.

The poll found that women were more likely than men to favor bringing home American forces. Non-white respondents were more likely than whites to favor troop reductions.
