The majority of Americans say the country is at war with radical Islamic terrorism, according to a new poll taken in the aftermath of last week's terrorist attacks in France.

A survey by the conservative-leaning Rasmussen Reports published Friday found that 60 percent of likely voters believe the country is at war, compared with 24 percent who say the U.S. is not at war.

I dont think so. Seems we have a permanent 30-40% who seem completely out of the the loop/cant think logically/are liberal fan boys.

Well if we are at war, why are we letting ANYBODY in? Shouldn’t we be verifying the ones already let in aren’t rogue actors? Doesn’t seem like we are too engaged in winning.

The modern world is at war with Islam period. Islam is a backward satanic cult of irrational murderers and thugs, surrounding themselves with the air of righteousness. It is the religion of Lucifer and will be destroyed ultimately by god himself if not by us first!

Well technically that is the other way around.

ISIS is AT WAR with us but our gutless Congress has not declared it and our Muslim President does not see it or fight it.

Poor misguided fools in thinking we are at war. Our White House is aiding and abetting islam , while spreading propaganda that we are at war.

The White House is at war. On side with islam against the west.

Worst part? The American taxpayer is paying for his own demise.

I say let them in after they renounce Islam, convert to any other non ‘Islamic cult’ and stay loyal to that religion for many years! The can never be citizen and there children will remain suspect until they have children. I understand that this seems harsh, so be it! WE must understand that one of Islams methods of usurpation of a nation is through a breeding program and demographics! What you can not win on the battle field win through sheer numbers!

Well technically that is the other way around.

You have to wonder what the number would have been
if the question had been phrased as ...

“Is Islam at war with US?”

60/24 = more than 2/3 or a veto proof ratio

FWIW

The down side of a poll like this is Hillary will pander and start to come across as a hawk on illegal immigration. She has no platform except to come out on the same side as any poll.
