Fox News Poll: Voters Approve President's Decision to Resume Gitmo Tribunals

[Bluebear]

Yay! Validation!

====

American voters approve of President Obama’s recent decision to resume U.S. military tribunals for Guantanamo Bay detainees. Still, views are split on whether Obama owes former President George W. Bush an apology for first harshly criticizing Bush’s policy on Guantanamo, and then later essentially adopting it.

These are some of the findings from a Fox News poll released Thursday.

By a 51-25 percent margin, voters approve of the president’s recent reversal on his Gitmo policy, which restarts U.S. military tribunals for terrorist detainees held there. Nearly one voter in four has no opinion on the policy change (23 percent).

A 56 percent majority of Republicans approves of the resumption of military tribunals at Gitmo, as do about half of independents (49 percent) and Democrats (48 percent).

More than two-thirds of those considering themselves part of the Tea Party movement approve of the president’s policy reversal (67 percent).

1. "criticizing Bush’s policy on Guantanamo, and then later essentially adopting it." well, he ows ME

and apology for lying his sorry ass off, because if he had campaigned under the guise of 'continuing Bush policies' I wouldn't have voted for him.

2. What are you going to do in 2012 ? n/t

4. what ... you want to hand it over to someone who would make it worse

and actually would run on that promise?

Like was done by most of the voters in the 2010 mid-terms?

3. We have no choice but to vote for Obama in 2012 anyway.

Because the Republican will be even worse than this president. So I throw my support behind Obama in 2012! It's a good campaign platform: I'm only half as shitty as my Republican challenger!
