On the flip side, 66 percent of voters polled said the president does not deserve the Nobel prize compared to 26 percent who do, and 41 percent said the choice of Obama diminishes their image of the award. Six percent said it makes them think better of the prize and 49 percent said it makes no difference.
Brown said in a written release that Obama benefits from a Nobel prize ceremony that occurs Thursday morning U.S. time, while most of the country is sleeping.
"Two out of three Americans don't think he deserves it compared to the quarter who do. Even among Democrats, only 49 percent think he deserves it, compared to 8 percent of Republicans and 19 percent of independent voters. As is the case with many questions related to the president there are wide gender and racial gaps."
