In one of his first forays into controversy, on his 4th day in office President Obama overturned the Mexico City policy, permitting the use of US tax dollars to promote abortion overseas. A Gallup poll out today shows that appeasing the far left of his party was not popular with the great middle that elected him. While large majorities have supported many of his foreign and domestic decisions so far, a minority approves of his decision to close the terrorist prison at Guantanamo Bay (only 44%), and barely a third (35%) approve of his abortion decision.
The figure of 35% agrees well with past surveys that show that only about a third of the electorate fully subscribes to the liberal agenda of the Democrat Party. Rather, a large majority of Americans favor varying degrees of restrictions on abortion (such as parental consent and informed consent), as well as do not want to pay for abortions or promoting abortions with their taxes. We must hope, and pray, that the President gets the message. However, expect more trouble from the abortion and environmental true-believers, for whom no child left behind in the womb is an axiom.
