61% Of Americans Think Obama Did Not Deserve The Nobel Peace Prize

Gallup reports that the "majority of Americans do not believe President Barack Obama deserved to win the Nobel Peace Prize (61%), but the public is split in its personal reaction to the announcement. Asked if they are “glad” Obama received the prize, 46% of Americans say yes and 47% say no... The USA Today/Gallup poll conducted about a week after the announcement did not ask Americans whether they believe that the award may ultimately be deserved, or whether it was appropriately given in anticipation of the potential of the Obama administration's peace efforts. The central question simply asked whether Obama 'deserved' the award, and found Americans by roughly a 2-to-1 margin saying no rather than yes."
