A new CNN poll finds that Americans don’t agree with former Vice President Dick Cheney when he says President Obama is making the country less safe:
Do you think the actions Barack Obama has taken as president have increased the chances of a terrorist attack against the U.S., or don’t you think so?
Have increased 26%
Have not 72%
One thing worth noting is that the question didn’t attribute this idea to Dick Cheney — respondents were asked to judge it on its own merits. If they had included Cheney, pitting his reputation against Obama’s, who knows whether agreement would have been higher or lower.
