Americans Lose Faith in Obama on Terrorism

A new New York Times/CBS News Poll finds that for the first time in his presidency, more Americans disapprove of President Obama’s handling of terrorism than approve of it.

“With midterm elections approaching, Americans’ fears about a terrorist attack on United States soil are on the rise, and the public is questioning Mr. Obama’s strategy for combating the militant organization calling itself the Islamic State, also known as the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria. Most respondents say the president has no clear plan for confronting the group, and that he has not been tough enough in dealing with it.”
