WASHINGTON - Half of Americans have concerns terrorists might be winning the war on terrorism, and one in five feels strongly that way, according to an Associated Press poll.

Two-thirds said it was likely terrorists would strike before the November elections. And a third said it was likely there would be an attack at one of the political conventions this summer.

More than 30 months after the Sept. 11 attacks, two-thirds of Americans acknowledge some concern that terrorists might be recruiting faster than the United States can keep up. The poll of 1,001 adults was taken April 5-7 and has a margin of error of 3 percentage points.
