The latest poll (http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20091006/ap_on_go_pr_wh/us_obama_ap_poll) has Obama moving up.
As for Afghanistan and war costs... as has been said, Bush created these problems (is that in dispute). Yes, they are absolutely Obama's job to clean up. That is also not in dispute. Of course, in order to do that, he needs to end the war in Afghanistan ASAP. But is that really what Republicans are advocating? Nope. They're telling Obama to escalate the war (which would also escalate the costs). Polls show, again, that the public disagrees with the GOP on that. I hope Obama listens to the polls.
