Some more interesting takeaways from the new Fox News poll, on domestic policy:
- Two-thirds say that President Obama is proposing more government spending than we can afford.
- The vast majority say the national debt is so large it is hurting the country, and that we should cut spending.
- Two-thirds say that we should not raise the debt limit. (I’m pretty sure that most people don’t know what that means. I doubt that most would support a default on US treasuries.)
- A majority of those who have heard of ACORN view it as a corrupt organization, including a plurality of Democrats.
- The public is evenly divided on the question of whether Obama blames President Bush too often.
- Independents are evenly divided on the question of whether Obama behaves more like he is a candidate on the campaign trail, or more like he is the president.
And on foreign policy:
- A majority say that Obama apologizes too much to the rest of the world for past US policies.
- A majority say that Obama is not doing what it takes to win in Afghanistan.
- Two-thirds say they trust the military more than Obama to decide the next steps in Afghanistan! Only one in five trust Obama more.
- As I noted earlier, majorities say Obama has not been tough enough on Iran, think military action against Iran will be required, and support such military action.
