55% Oppose Limits On U.S. Nuclear Response To Attacks -- Yahoo News/Rasmussen

My Comment: On political support for the U.S.-Russian new START agreement, AP is reporting that the Republicans will still support the treaty. But other Republicans have a different view on President Obama's nuclear strategy, and are now receiving blow-back from the White house.
My take .... 55% is a large percentage opposing President Obama's nuclear strategy, and any other talk of reducing U.S. nuclear weapon stockpiles results in higher percentage differences. Republican leaders are going to take notice, and I will not be surprised if their public announcements will start to vocalize this sentiment.
