The Politics of National Security

Wondering what the public is thinking on national security issues? Third Way’s newest memo, The Politics of National Security, gives you the latest round-up of public opinion polling on a wide range of national security issues. In this memo we bring you the data behind:

  • President Obama’s strength on national security issues, which does not stick to Democrats;
  • The public’s gut opposition to defense cuts and how to overcome it;
  • The public’s wariness about present and future military interventions.
