Fifty-seven percent of Americans do not believe President Obama is being tough enough in dealing with Islamic State militants, said a new poll released Wednesday.

Thirty-one percent believe his approach to combating the group, which includes arming and training Syrian rebels, deploying additional military advisers to the region and stepping up airstrikes in Iraq and likely Syria, is about right, according to the CBS News/New York Times poll.

Could we at least have a Declaration of War this time?
That was something we needed for 9/11.

The Communist media always uses polls to sway opinion. The way they design their polls work as a propaganda tool not only with the results but also their affect on the respondees. It is their strategy to manipulate the masses. Their polls not only show their callus disregard for the truth but also, their cynical representation of their polls as truthful. “Fair and balanced” is just a deceptive ploy to manipulate the masses.

That is why they are wetting their pants at the thought of the Hildebeast for President. She is Zer0's third term and will finish the work that Zer0 has started. With Bill Clinton, they are getting a two for one. In Bill's case, it will be his third term as co-President. The GOP had better get in "Beast Mode" if they are going to stop this train wreck and America's ride into oblivion.

I think you meant those who voted for him before. Not any of the sane people would.

War on Drugs
War on Obesity
War on Global Warming

Pathetic isn't it?

57%? Then 43% still have their heads up their a$$e$. An improvement, but not by much.
