As President Obama embarks on his overseas trip to the G-20 summit, a new Gallup poll finds that his approval on foreign affairs is a solid 61%.
One interesting thing is that this number is actually higher than the 54% approval in foreign affairs that Obama registered a month and a half ago, contrary to the usual expectation that these figures would go down as the honeymoon period wore off.
On the other hand, disapproval has also increased, from 22% to 28%. The movement here was not been from approval to disapproval or undecided, but from undecided to approval or disapproval, as Obama has just begun actually doing things in foreign policy.
