Presidential Approval Slipping

From Rasmussen Reports, Obama's approval numbers slipping:

Overall, 56% of voters say they at least somewhat approve of the President's performance so far. Forty-three percent (43%) disapprove. For more, see Obama By the Numbers or recent demographic highlights.


Sixty-one percent (61%) of voters nationwide support the President's decision on sending more troops to Afghanistan. More broadly, 54% think that our allies should follow the lead of the United States more often.


Funny how the American public, so bent against finishing the job in Iraq (which now even Iraqi citizens show in huge polling that they support) are for sending troops to Afghanistan to protect drug lords who have yet to really support democracy or crack down on their own border region. Why the hypocricy?
