WASHINGTON (June 28) -- The number of Americans who think that the U.S. will bring peace to Kosovo has dropped somewhat in the past two weeks, and the public is split over whether the peace agreement in Kosovo is working well, according to the latest CNN/USA Today/Gallup poll.

Nonetheless, two-thirds of the country favors the presence of U.S. peacekeeping troops in Kosovo.

Immediately after Yugoslavia accepted the Kosovo peace agreement, 65 percent said that the U.S. effort to establish peace in Kosovo will succeed. That figure has dropped eight points in the past two weeks.

Only 43 percent say that the peace agreement is working well; 47 percent believe it is not working well.

A bare majority -- 52 percent -- now say that the situation in Kosovo was worth going to war over.

The survey of 1,016 adult Americans was conducted June 25-27, 1999 and has a margin of sampling error of +/- three percentage points.

As of today, do you think the peace agreement in Kosovo is or is not working well?

Are you confident that the U.S. effort to establish peace in Kosovo will succeed?

Do you favor or oppose the presence of U.S. ground troops, along with troops from other countries, in an international peacekeeping force in Kosovo?

All in all, do you think the situation in Kosovo was worth going to war over, or not?
