What is the Rassmussen (sp?) poll? I assume this is some right wing conservative poll?
I don't think it comes as a surprise that Obama's "strongly approve" numbers would go down, considering the unemployement. Americans want "quick fix" they don't want to hear that recovery will be slow. As a society, we've got the attention span of a bunch of gnats.

I think you would be surprised to find that "liberals" are not especially upset by Afghanistan. I have friends in that camp, and I think the majority of them think we should have been doing more in Afghanistan all along. It was Iraq that they objected to.
I don't think you'll find too many people that don't agree we should be going after the Taliban. And the time we wasted in Iraq has just given them a stronger toehold in Afghanistan.
