Just over half of American voters want the U.S. and its allies to force Libyan leader Muammar al-Qaddafi from power. At the same time, a majority opposes the ongoing military action in that country, as most say the Obama administration has not explained the goal there. …
On Friday, the House of Representatives passed a resolution sponsored by Speaker John Boehner calling for the White House to provide Congress with a justification for the Libyan mission within two weeks. The resolution makes clear that Congress could cut off funds for the war if the president fails to consult with the body about the U.S. role.
Most Republicans (68 percent) as well as majorities of independents (57 percent) and Democrats (53 percent) agree the president should ask Congress for its consent.
