Executive Summary

 
New research by Greenberg Quinlan Rosner, conducted for Third Way, finds that Democrats face major challenges and opportunities on national security in this election year.

The historic gap between the parties on national security, which dramatically closed in 2006, has begun re-opening in recent months. The opportunity for Democrats is that the public is deeply unhappy with the Bush approach to Iraq and other foreign policy issues, believing that recent Republican national security policies have been both ineffective and - from energy policy to the treatment of our troops and veterans - particularly harmful to the well-being of average Americans. The challenge is that large shares of the public still perceive Democrats as unwilling to use force, out of touch with the military, and too willing to put politics over principle on security.

The research suggests Democrats must place their criticisms of Republicans on national security within a more cohesive and compelling frame. The research shows the Republican approach to security should be characterized as a continuation of the "reckless and out of touch" policies of the Bush administration, while the Democrats' approach be described as "tough and smart."
