Approval of Obama on Afghan war dives (USA Today 11/24/09)

http://www.usatoday.com/news/washington/2009-11-24-Poll_N.htm

Public approval of President Obama's handling of the war in Afghanistan has plummeted, a USA TODAY/Gallup Poll finds, amid rising pessimism about the course of the conflict.
The nation is divided over what to do next: Nearly half of those surveyed endorse deploying thousands of additional U.S. troops, while four in 10 say it's time to begin withdrawing forces.

The mixed picture comes as the president weighs a request from the top U.S. commander for about 40,000 more troops. Obama said Tuesday he would announce his decision after Thanksgiving.

On a series of fronts, Obama is moving against headwinds:

• By more than 2-1, Americans say the United States shouldn't close the terrorist prison at Guantanamo Bay in Cuba, as Obama has promised.

• By 49%-44%, they oppose passing a health care bill in Congress this year, which he calls critical.

• A majority are against holding the trial of Khalid Sheikh Mohammed in New York, and nearly six in 10 say the self-proclaimed 9/11 mastermind should be tried in a military rather than a civilian court. That's at odds with the decision announced this month by Attorney General Eric Holder.

When it comes to seven specific areas, Obama no longer commands majority support on any. On only two — energy policy and global warming — does he have a net positive rating. On the economy, health care, jobs and Afghanistan, a majority disapprove of how he's doing. There's an almost even divide on his handling of terrorism: 45% approve, 47% disapprove.

Did you watch the speech? I didn't. I'm sick and I don't want to do anything that will make myself sicker.

I am glad the people are starting to realize that candidates that run on hope and change are full of crap

Sorry, I didn't see this post until just now.  Hope you're better!  No, I didn't watch the speech.  I know whatever comes out of Barry's mouth is a lie or worse, so I steer clear.

I actually feel kind of sorry for his followers.  He's is so the total opposite of what he led them to believe.  Then again, they could have known, had they just, oh, I don't know, READ or LISTENED!evileye
