Public — including GOP — support New START

Associated Press story on AP-GfK Poll showing strong and bi-partisan support for New START

Los Angeles Times – ALAN FRAM,Associated Press Writer
November 11, 2010

(excerpt)

“Two-thirds want the Senate to ratify Obama’s nuclear arms reduction treaty with Russia, including most Democrats, about 6 in 10 Republicans and independents — and even about half of conservative tea party supporters. Some Republican senators oppose the treaty. The Obama administration hopes to win Senate approval in the upcoming lameduck session of Congress and will need GOP support to garner the 67 votes required.”
