WASHINGTON — American public support for the Afghan war and US President Barack Obama's handing of the conflict has hit an all-time low after the leak of secret military documents, a poll showed Tuesday.

Obama's overall ratings also declined to a new low, with only 41 percent of Americans saying they approved of his performance, according to the USA Today/Gallup poll -- his worst showing since taking office in January 2009.

The percentage of Americans who say the United States made a mistake in sending troops to Afghanistan rose to 43 percent, compared to 38 percent before the release of tens of thousands of classified documents on the war.

Public confidence in Obama's war policy has also plunged to 36 percent, down from 48 percent in February survey, the poll said.

Even though he has failed to make a sizeable dent in high US unemployment, Obama received a better rating for his management of the economy than for the war, with 39 percent supporting his handling of the economy, it said.

This can't be true.

I posted in another thread that the Obama administration is letting the repubs control the narrative. I also said he needs to stop this right now for the mid-terms and 2012.

When President Obama was on the View he was asked this very question, in a very direct manner, so he must know that this is what many of his supporters are thinking.
