Obama's best marks continue to come on foreign policy, where 56 percent say they approve of his handling of the war in Afghanistan. This is his strongest rating on the matter since his major review of U.S. war policy, which resulted in his December decision to further increase troop levels there.
The poll was taken after Obama hosted a summit aimed at reducing nuclear weapons around the world. About half of those surveyed -- 49 percent -- say they approve of his handling of nuclear weapons policy; 37 percent disapprove.
