I don't really see how anti-war protesters could weaken our effort.

There's a lot of people all over the world that protest against us, and it doesn't seem to be hurting the terrorists, and it doesn't seem to be strengthening our resolve either.

So why should it be any different for us?

I don't think the existance of anti-war protesters weakens our efforts, but the poll question asks whether the policy that the protesters suggest would weaken the US. The impression of a lack of support for thetroops and their mission would seem to encourage and support the insurgents, and any other anti-US folks out there, don't you think?
