On the Issues, Public Supports Obama


Some quick polling data that any president would be pleased to see.

According to the latest CNN Poll, 67% of the public hope President Obama's policies succeed.

He enjoys a 64% approval rating on fighting terrorism.

Specifically on Iraq, where last week the president announced all troops will be home by the end of the year, 75% of Americans, according to Gallup, support that plan.  This support flies squarely in the face of GOP opposition in which some of the worst anti-American venom has been spilled yet criticizing President Obama's decision to finally bring the war to an end.

57% support his handling of environmental issues.

Even according to Fox News' very own polling data, 52% of the public believes the president has good ideas that need to be implemented.

His lows, however, come from the economy where only 40% approve, health care policy, and gas prices where his lowest is 39%.

Not too bad really.  But job creation and an economic turn around are the heavy hitters this election cycle.
