You are right...precious little recent polling. Given there's only 3 recent polls, I'd draw some encouragement from the 2 of the 3 polls that show only 15% are pushing for a military solution to the issue. I think the American people are starting to tire of military action in place of diplomatic solutions. 8 years of wars with no clear moral imperatives tend to do this.
