Today in ObamaNation - Polls & Scott Brown

Obama and America Passing Quietly in the Night [Daniel Foster]

Some of the things you can find in the new Quinnipiac poll: Large majorities favor a greater focus on security over civil liberties in U.S. anti-terror policy (63 percent to 25 percent); support the war in Afghanistan (59 percent to 35 percent); and prefer using military tribunals rather than civilian court to try suspected terrorists (59 percent to 34 percent).

One of the things you won't find: any kind of support for the Democrats' health-care reform legislation. Only 34 percent of Americans "mostly approve" of Democratic efforts on health care, while 54 percent of Americans "mostly disapprove." And for the first time, Americans trust congressional Republicans as much as the president on health-care issues (41 percent to 42 percent).
