Ukrainian soldiers transport their tanks from their base in Perevalnoe, outside Simferopol, Crimea, Wednesday, March 26, 2014. Ukraine has started withdrawing its troops and weapons from Crimea, now controlled by Russia. Foreign policy used to stand out as a not-so-bleak spot in the public’s waning assessment of Barack Obama. Not anymore. He’s getting low marks for handling Russia’s swoop into Ukraine, and more Americans than ever disapprove of the way Obama is doing his job, according to a new poll. Close to 9 out of 10 Americans support sanctions as a response to Russia’s annexation of the Crimean Peninsula. They are divided over whether the U.S. sanctions so far are about right or not strong enough, the Associated Press-GfK poll found. (AP Photo/Pavel Golovkin)
