Interesting

Some numbers on approval of the Libya decision strike me as interesting. A week ago it was 47-36 in favor, now it's 50-37 in favor. Very similar, right? Nope. Because net approval is down 19 points among Republicans, from 54-29 in favor to just 47-41 in favor, while Democrats have made a 17-point jump from 49-36 all the way to 59-29 in favor. So the partisan coalition of the pro-intervention crowd has changed significantly. And since Republicans are less likely to vote for Obama anyway, that could matter.
