FOX News Poll Finds It's OK to Bow to Foreign Leaders

According to TPM , Fox News conducted a poll asking :

When the president of the United States is traveling overseas, do you think it is appropriate for him to bow to a foreign leader if that is the country's custom or is it never appropriate for the president to bow to another leader?

Rove, Cheney and Bill Kristol were outvoted.

Appropriate 67%, Never appropriate 26%. Even a majority of Republican respondents were okay with the bow, by a 53%-40% margin. Democrats weigh in at 84%-9%, and independents 62%-30%.
