http://www.nbc4.tv/politics/9677460/detail.html A post-plot Newsweek poll showed a slight up tick in the President's dismal job approval rating and an 11-point jump in Americans' opinion of his handling of terrorism and homeland security. The poll shows, too, that voters trust Republicans to do a better job than Democrats on the issue. So Democrats will hit hard on Administration "failures" -- such as an Osama Bin Laden still at large, the mess in Iraq and the tinderbox that is the Middle East. They'll focus on poll results that indicate that on handling almost every other important issue but terrorism -- Iraq, health care and the economy, Americans trust Democrats to do a better job than Republicans. According to Newsweek, the "only non-security issue where the GOP comes close is immigration," where public opinion is split.
