President Obama addressed the nation Monday night to explain the United States' strategy both in Libya and the greater Middle East.

A USA TODAY/Gallup poll taken before the president's speech showed that 44 percent of Americans approve of how he is handling the situation in Libya, 44 percent disapprove, while 12 percent have no opinion, according to a USA TODAY report. The poll was within four points, give or take.
