WASHINGTON — US President Barack Obama has overwhelming support from American voters for his use of drone strikes against terror suspects and his planned troop drawdown in Afghanistan, a poll found Wednesday. Obama, who signed off on the US special forces raid which killed Osama bin Laden last year, also enjoys a wide edge over his likely Republican election foe Mitt Romney on national security and foreign policy, the poll showed.
Eighty-three percent of those asked in the Washington Post/ABC News survey said they backed Obama’s use of unmanned drone aircraft against terror suspects, which have caused disquiet among some civil liberties groups.
