Republican Mitt Romney significantly closed President Barack Obama’s lead with voters on foreign policy issues after the candidates’ first debate, according to a Pew Research Center poll released today.
Obama led Romney, 47 percent to 43 percent, on the question of who can make wiser decisions on foreign policy in the survey of 1,201 registered voters conducted Oct. 4-7. That compares with a 15-percentage-point advantage, 53 percent to 38 percent, that Obama had on the query in a Sept. 12-16 poll.
