Locally drenching showers and thunderstorms will affect the Gulf Coast. While a large part of the Midwest and Plains are free of rain, a zone of showers and storms will drop southeastward across the northern Plains and Upper Midwest.

Americans surveyed in last month's poll were not optimistic about the chance that a stable democratic government will be estab- lished in either country. Seventy-eight percent said it was either not too likely or not at all likely in Af- ghanistan and 80 percent said the same about Iraq. Roughly three out of four Americans polled think that in hindsight, each war will be deemed as an out- right "complete failure" or "more of a failure than suc- cess." A majority of those polled, or 70 percent, said the United States was right to withdraw American troops from Iraq in 2011 and pull most U.S. forces out of Afghanistan by De- cember. The two conflicts have consumed the nation for more than a decade and claimed the lives of 6,800 U.S. troops. Nelson Philip, 73, of Os- wego, Illinois, is of two minds. He judges the Af- ghan war a failure, but wants U.S. troops to stay in countries that remain in turmoil. "What's so success- ful about it? We didn't do anything there. The Tali- ban. They're still there. We haven't done anything and now we're pulling every- body out of there," Philip said. "And now this Islamic group is over there taking over Iraq." The situations in Af- ghanistan and Iraq are dis- tinct. But in each, the U.S. has spent more than a de- cade trying to set up dem- ocratic governments that could effectively police their own territories and stamp out threats to the Ameri- can homeland. And in both countries that objective is in peril — their futures threat- ened by a combination of poor leadership, weak insti- tutions, interethnic rivalry, insurgencies and extremist rebellions. Americans surveyed in the poll think more bad news is on the horizon. Fifty percent — up 18 points in the past seven months — think the situ- ation in Afghanistan will get worse. Fifty-eight per- cent — up from 16 percent in December 2009 — ex- pect conditions in Iraq will worsen. The poll was con- ducted shortly after Sunni extremists conducted an of- fensive that shattered secu- rity in Iraq. The rapid advance by the extremist Islamic State group, which captured Iraq's second-largest city, Mosul, and overran much of northern and west- ern Iraq, has plunged the country into its worst crisis since the withdrawal of U.S. troops at the end of 2011. Melody Fisher, a 58-year- old midwife from Prescott, Ariz.,wasamongtheroughly 25 percent who didn't think it was time yet for Ameri- can troops to return from Afghanistan, where about 2,340 U.S. servicemen and women have been killed. She said she wasn't convinced that the U.S. had finished its work there. "I used to work with ref- uges so I'm very aware of the conditions that people have to live in," said Fisher, a midwife who spent time helping resettle Cambodian refugees. "Our country, our nation, has no idea about the day-to-day things that people have to go through in many places." People over 50 expressed far more pessimism about the ultimate outcome of the two conflicts than their younger counterparts. Sixty-two percent of those over 50 said the situation in Afghanistan would get worse in the coming year, compared with 40 percent of youngerAmericans.On Iraq, that gap is even larger, with 72 percent age 50 or older ex- pecting things to get worse compared with 47 percent of those under age 50. Older Americans also are more likely to think the U.S. war in Afghanistan will be judged a failure in the fu- ture; 86 percent of those 50 or older feel that way, compared with 64 percent among those under age 50. They are also more likely to doubt that a stable dem- ocratic government will be established there; 88 per- cent age 50 or older say it's unlikely to happen com- pared with 70 percent age 18 to 49. The AP-GfK Poll was con- ducted July 24-28, 2014 us- ing KnowledgePanel, GfK's probability-based online panel designed to be repre- sentative of the U.S. popu- lation. It involved online in- terviews with 1,044 adults, and has a margin of sam- pling error of plus or minus 3.4 percentage points for all respondents.
