Presidents do not (and should not) govern by public opinion polls. If they did Lincoln would have "gotten us out" of the Civil War and Truman would have left the South Koreans to fend for themselves.
Presidents are expected to do what is best for the nation regardless of its popularity. There is nothing arrogant or ignorant to the belief that we should win the wars we fight rather than surrender to our enemies.
