WASHINGTON: Nearly three in four Americans (73%) are opposed to sending foreign aid toPakistan until it demonstrates a deeper commitment to the war against terrorism, an opinion poll here has revealed , even as seniorObama administration officials are making a qualified case for continuing assistance to a shifty ally.

In a clear sign that Washington is swimming against the tide of popular distaste for Pakistan, a Fox News poll released on Wednesday showed 73% of voters against aid to Islamabad, and only 19% saying US should continue funding . The poll, taken after Osama bin Laden was found living outside Islamabad, showed only 16% considered Pakistan as a US ally in the war on terror, against 74% who did not consider Pakistan a friend.
