“Most”? Really?
Actually googling it, it was around 50%, and several polls show more support for ending the war and being anti-war than for continuing it.
Jeez, if our generation could protest half as much we’d get twice as much done now. But no, the latest generations of Americans are poorly educated authoritarianist lovers who don’t even know what they’re simping for.

To give you an idea of how screwed up public opinion was, on the Kent state massacre, “A Gallup poll found 58 percent blamed the Kent students for their own deaths. Only 11 percent blamed the National Guard.”
