Poll: Anti-war sentiment grows in Americans 50 and over

Demonstrators arrive Saturday at the Pentagon during a march in Arlington, Virginia.

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Americans are starkly less confident and proud of their country's involvement in Iraq, according to poll results released Sunday.

However, the poll -- results of which were released on the eve of the Iraq war's 4-year anniversary -- also indicated that Americans are no more worried about the conflict than they were when it began in March 2003. (Full poll results[PDF])

The CNN poll of 1,027 adults was conducted March 9-11 by Opinion Research Corp. The sampling error for the poll is plus or minus 3 percentage points.(Related Video: Can the U.S. win in Iraq?)
