President Obama’s National Security Performance Falls To A New Low

(H/T: Christy Li)

Ratings For Obama’s National Security Performance Fall To New Low -- Rasmussen Reports

Although President Obama made an address to the nation Monday night to explain his decision to commit U.S. military forces to Libya, fewer voters than ever give him positive grades on his handling of national security issues.

A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey of Likely Voters shows 37% give the president good or excellent ratings on his handling of national security issues. Slightly more voters (40%) say the president is doing a poor job when it comes to national security. (To see survey question wording, click here).

My Comment: During a time of war, a sitting President has always enjoyed polling numbers that were over 50% on national security issues .... and his low numbers were (almost) always associated for his shortcomings in the economy.

For President Obama this has not been the case. He has failed in garnering a majority that are in favor of his handling of national security issues, as well as doing dismally on economic issues. If he does not change these numbers by next year .... and the Republicans nominate a viable candidate .... he will be a one term President.
