Politico's "Power and the People" poll measures the views of "DC Elites" and the "general population." Here are some of the results when it comes to foreign policy:
* 49 percent of elites don't think we'll succeed in Afghanistan vs. 48 percent of the general population (GP)* wars in Iraq and Afghanistan both merited "very important" consideration from 45 percent of both elites and GP
* GP was more concerned about nuclear proliferation than elites - 34 percent vs. 24 percent
