It’s true that voters are skeptical about the administration’s handling of the issue. Just 32 percent believe the president’s team has done a good job explaining what happened. Forty percent say the explanations have been poor.

Eight out of 10 believe it’s important to learn what actually happened. That includes 51 percent who say learning the truth is “very important.”

The public is also doubtful that justice will be served. Only 40 percent are even somewhat confident that the ambassador’s murderers will be caught and punished.

But as has been the case since he first assumed office, President Obama continues to earn better marks on foreign policy than he gets for handling the economy. The latest numbers show that 47 percent give the president good marks on national security, while only 33 percent rate his performance as poor.

With the public largely tuning out foreign policy topics, it will take some pretty spectacular revelations to change those perceptions.
