Rasmussen said the finding has been declining steadily from a high of 29 percent in February 2011.

Forty-nine percent said they oppose the United States providing military and financial assistance to Egypt, results showed.

Forty-three percent said they believe the changes in Egypt have been bad for the United States, up from 20 percent in 2011. Twenty-seven percent say the changes in Egypt have had no impact in the United States and 24 percent said they weren’t sure.

Results are based on a nationwide survey of 1,000 likely voters conducted was conducted Friday and Saturday, the margin of error is 3 percentage points.
