Poll: Obama's Foreign Policy

Posted by Greg Scoblete at 5:15 AM

A Washington Post/ABC News poll surveyed the public on several foreign policy related aspects of President Obama's tenure to date:

International affairs

Approve: 61
Disapprove: 32
No opinion: 7

The threat of terrorism

Approve: 57
Disapprove: 36
No opinion:7


The situation with Iran

Approve: 52
Disapprove: 36
No opinion: 12

Do you think Obama's policies are making the United States (safer) from terrorism, (less safe), or are they not making much difference in that?

Safer: 32
Less safe: 22
Not much difference: 44
No opinion: 2

I don't think we can draw any general conclusions from this other than all the so-called "tests" the administration has supposedly faced to date in North Korea and Iran have been passed, at least so far as the general public is concerned.
