Obama Drops 12 Points in Foreign Policy Approval

[deacon blues]

An NBC/Wall Street Journal poll has Obama dropping a whopping 12 points among independents approval of his handling of foreign policy!

I guess the riots throughout the world were actually about Obama---not about Romney's statement he was excoriated for. A week after Obama and the Democrats danced around on the grave of Osama Bin Laden spiking the football and celebrating his foreign policy superiority, they now have to wipe the egg off of their faces...

Hmmmmmmm.....

From NBC website:

After last week's political firestorm over attacks on U.S. embassies in Egypt and Libya, the latest NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll finds that President Obama's approval rating on foreign policy has dropped five points since August.

In the poll, 49 percent approve of the president's job in handling foreign policy, versus 46 percent who disapprove.

Last month, 54 percent said they approved of his foreign-policy handling.
Much of that drop can be attributed to increased political polarization just seven weeks until Election Day...

Indeed, 86 percent of Democrats approve of Obama on foreign policy, compared with just 10 percent of Republicans. Yet in August, nearly twice as many Republicans -- 19 percent -- approved.

Still, in the current NBC/WSJ poll, only 41 percent of independents approve of Obama's foreign-policy handling, versus 53 percent who did so last month.

The full NBC/WSJ poll -- which was conducted Sept. 12-16 of 900 registered voters (including 270 by cell phone) and which has an overall margin of error of plus-minus 3.3 percentage points -- will be released at 6:30 pm ET.
