Partisan?

A CBS Poll shows 50% approval for Obama's actions in Libya.

That seems a little low to me. Usually a president gets an immediate bump for a war action and then it starts to drop if it goes on too long or things go bad. But maybe it's different for "little" actions; not sure how Panama or Grenada were received at the time, for example (and not sure if those are fair comparisons).

But what i thought was odd about the poll was this:

Two-thirds of Democrats surveyed backed the president in the CBS poll, while 43% of Republicans and Independents said the same.

Seems kinda odd, to me. 66% of Democrats supporting a war effort but only 43% of Republicans. Or am i over-analyzing it?
