Percent believing Allies winning: after November 1942, never below 75%.

That's a fascinating graph, thanks! What's really interesting to me is the line about who thought the Allies were winning. It spikes right after the North Africa landings which, to me, indicates that the public was waiting for action and dubious of intent.
Great post, G.
