Who's Leading in Libya?

A new poll shows confusion over Libya

No one's quite sure, according to a new Rasmussen poll:

'A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey of Likely Voters shows that 38% believe the burden of the military operation in Libya is being handled primarily by U.S. allies like England and France. Thirty-two percent (32%) believe the United States is primarily handling the operation, while another 30% are not sure.

Democrats and voters not affiliated with either major political party lean more toward the view that our allies are the ones who are primarily handling the military operation, while Republicans are more evenly divided. A plurality of GOP voters (42%) says the United States is primarily handling the military operation in Libya.

'

Hopefully President Obama's speech today will provide some clarity as to the U.S. mission in Libya.
