Voters Split on Whether Romney or Obama Would Make Better Foreign Policy Leader
Thursday, August 02, 2012
Mitt Romney's campaign portrayed his quick overseas trip as a success. President Obama's team described the trip as an embarrassment and a gaffe-fest. When it ended, voters remain evenly divided between the candidates on foreign policy issues. Forty-four percent (44%) of Likely U.S. Voters believe the president is better able to deal with America's allies. Another 44% say Romney is better for that task. A Rasmussen national telephone survey also found virtually identical results on the question of who is better poised to deal with our enemies--44% picked Romney and 43% named the president.
