Two Thirds of Americans anxious about Bush Foreign Policy

Here it is from the AP:

Americans are expressing growing nervousness about their country's foreign policy, according to a survey, with about two-thirds saying relations with the rest of the world are on the wrong track.

The poll, completed in March, found that public pessimism extends beyond the war in Iraq. More than eight in 10 respondents said they were worried about the way things are going for the United States in world affairs. Three quarters of Americans also said they worry about global warming, up from two-thirds percent in September 2006.

The poll included an "anxiety indicator" that calculates the level of angst in the country based on answers to five questions. The indicator registered 137 on a scale of zero to 200, with zero being the most secure and 200 the most anxious.

The figure registered in the latest survey moved up seven points since a similar survey in September.

"The Anxiety Indicator is moving closer to the 150 mark, the `red zone' that to me would signal a full-blown crisis of public confidence," said survey researcher Daniel Yankelovich, chairman of Public Agenda, the nonpartisan public policy institute that released the study Wednesday along with the publication Foreign Affairs.
