This is interesting:
A CNN poll released today finds that 73 percent agree with Obama’s decision not to release the photos of prisoner abuse which occurred several years ago, while only 26 percent said the government should release them.
And a poll for Democracy Corps by the Democratic firm Greenberg Quinlan Rosner finds higher approval ratings for Obama’s national security policies than for his overall job performance. “At least for now,” the company says, Obama has “effectively erased doubts that Americans have historically harbored about the Democratic Party’s vision and competence on national security.”
Activists wishing to persuade Obama to be more like them might want to consider these poll numbers and see what it is about their strategy that needs to be tweaked.
