Sixty-four percent of American adults said they disapprove of the way that President Barack Obama is dealing with the ISIS terrorist group, according to a Gallup poll that was conducted Nov. 4-8.
The results of the poll, which was completed five days before the Nov. 13 terrorist attacks in Paris, were cited and linked in a Gallup analysis released Monday.
Gallup asked 1,021 people 18 and older living in the United States whether they “approve or disapprove of the way Barack Obama is handling” four different policy areas. These included “the economy;” “healthcare policy;” “foreign affairs,” and “the situation involving Islamic militants, commonly known as ISIS, in Iraq and Syria.”
Obama did not secure majority approval for his handling of any of these topics. But the greatest disapproval was for his handling of ISIS.
--44 percent approved of Obama’s handling of the economy, and 54 disapproved.
--44 percent approved of Obama’s handling of healthcare policy and 54 percent disapproved.
--37 percent approved of Obama’s handling of foreign affairs and 59 percent disapproved.
--30 percent approved of Obama's handling of ISIS and 64 percent disapproved.
In its analysis of the survey, Gallup noted that it had been conducted before the Paris attacks and that Obama’s overall approval rating had gone up over the weekend following the attacks.
“These data are from a Nov. 4-8 Gallup poll, taken before Friday's Paris terrorist attacks, which appear to have led to a modest rally in support for the president,” said the Gallup analysis. “Obama's overall approval rating rose from 47% in Tuesday to Thursday Gallup Daily tracking to 51% from Friday to Sunday.”
“The Nov. 4-8 poll also included measures of Obama's handling of foreign affairs (37%) and the situation involving Islamic State militants, commonly known as ISIS, in Iraq and Syria (30%),” said the Gallup analysis. “Both of these ratings would likely be different today, after the Paris attacks. Obama's 37% rating on foreign affairs is consistent with the 36% and 39% ratings he received on the issue in two polls conducted earlier this year, but substantially lower than the majority approval ratings he initially received in his first term in office.”
Got to be up to 80% now. JV squad, my ass.
Has anyone else noticed there have been NO popularity polls concerning Obama from the MSM over the past 6 months?
My only liberal friend on FB posted that she compares the refusal of so many states to the so called refugees to the people turning away Mary and Joseph and to the Indians turning away white settlers. No joke! This person lives in liberal CO. I noticed that there were no likes at that time.
0bama is not an American, he does not love America, he is not upholding his oath of office.
Impeach him now!
Will they issue the next poll or bury it. Bet some of it will top 90+%
Ben Stein: Obama ‘Has a Real Strong Hatred of America’

I think you knew the answer to that before you asked it.
There are two types of people here. Those who want to do something and those who whine “we can’t win so let’s not try.”
IMPEACH 0bama!
Impeachment is the morally correct thing to do. If we are to restore constitutional continuity.
But given the current perverted environment, it would probably play out as you describe.
What can be done in those cases when a president refuses to perform his job or is hell-bent to destroy the country?
In this ass backwards 0bamanation, 64% will probably approve of his handling of ISIS after the attacks. The same number will probably want to accept more refugees too.
Okay, maybe it’s a reach, but I wouldn’t be surprised.
The Senate votes on removal. You knew that too.
I’m sure you also know that I didn’t answer your question before because you’re obviously trolling.
Of course. Don't you remember how Gore became President when the House impeached B.J. Clinton?
I was saving that point for later. :-)
