Americans don't want to intervene in Libya, according to a new poll

A majority of U.S. voters want a hands-off approach to Libya, according to a new poll from Rasmussen Reports:

'Just 22% of Likely U.S. Voters think the United States should get more directly involved in the Libyan crisis. Sixty-three percent (63%) say America should leave the situation alone. Fifteen percent (15%) are not sure. '

This is consistent with an earlier Rasmussen poll that found that 67 percent of voters said the U.S. should "stay out" of the unrest roiling the Arab world.

Rasmussen also asked voters about the performance of President Obama with respect to Libya:

'Forty percent (40%) of voters rate the Obama administrationâ??s response to the situation in Libya to date as good or excellent. Twenty-one percent (21%) say the administration is doing a poor job.'
