Romney Makes Big Gains on Foreign Policy

Ahead of next week’s presidential debate on foreign policy, a new Pew Research poll finds that President Obama and Mitt Romney run about even on most foreign policy issues.

On the question of who can do a better job making wise decisions about foreign policy, 47% of voters favor Obama and 43% Romney. This represents a substantial gain for Romney, who trailed Obama by 15 points on foreign policy issues in September.
