55% Oppose Limits On U.S. Nuclear Response To Attacks

In another devastating poll the American people are showing their displeasure on how President Barack Obama is leading the country.

As with Health Care Reform, Americans disagree with Obama’s change of policy with the use of nuclear weapons.

This president took an oath to protect and defend this country, but Obama foolishly thinks that America is safer by hamstringing itself in the use of nuclear weapons.

This is what happens when you elect a Liberal ideologue from the Southside of Chicago.

You get Amateur Hour at the White House.

From Rasmussen Reports:

Fifty-five percent (55%) of U.S. voters oppose President Obama’s new policy prohibiting the use of nuclear weapons in response to chemical or biological attacks on the United States.
A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that just 25% of voters agree with the president’s decision to rule out a nuclear response if a non-nuclear country attacks America with chemical or biological weapons.

Another 20% are undecided.

Only 31% favor a reduction in the number of nuclear weapons in the U.S. arsenal. Fifty-three percent (53%) oppose any such reduction.

Sixteen percent (16%) are not sure.

The president signed a treaty today with Russian President Dmitri Medvedev pledging a near one-third reduction in the nuclear weapons arsenals of both countries.

Just 31% of voters trust Russia to honor the new agreement.

Only 38% think it is even somewhat likely that other countries will reduce their nuclear weapons arsenals and development in response to the actions taken by the United States.

That includes just seven percent (7%) who say it’s very likely.

Fifty-four percent (54%) think reciprocal disarmament by other countries is unlikely, with 35% who say it’s not very likely and 19% who view it as not at all likely.

The president told the New York Times in an interview earlier this week that his ban on nuclear responses would not include “outliers like Iran and North Korea” that do not honor the international nuclear non-proliferation treaty.

Eighty-three percent (83%) of voters view the nation’s nuclear weapons arsenal as at least somewhat important to U.S. national security, including 56% who regard it as very important.

Only 14% say that arsenal is not very or not at all important to national security.
