A new CBS News/New York Times poll shows that the majority of Americans don’t think the United States has a responsibility to intervene in Syria, by a margin of 62-24 percent. Last month, only 20 percent of those surveyed thought the U.S. should intervene, while 62 percent still thought it should not.

From CBS News:

Still, those following the news about Syria very closely are far more likely to think the U.S. has a responsibility to get involved there. Nearly half (47 percent) of that group thinks the U.S. has a responsibility to get involved there — though about as many do not (48 percent).
