In the wake of the Paris terror attacks, President Obama has earned his worst rating on his handling of terrorism in his career.

Currently, 54 percent of U.S. adults disapprove of the way in which Obama is handling terrorism threats, the worst such rating in his White House career, according to an ABC News/Washington Post poll released Friday. Forty-three percent of Americans disapprove strongly of the president's handling of terror threats.

Americans are particularly critical of Obama's response to the Islamic State (IS, also known as ISIL or ISIS), the terrorist group that claimed responsibility for the deadly attacks in Paris and that has also threatened attacks on the United States. Fifty-seven percent of U.S. adults disapprove of Obama's handling of IS, with 46 percent doing so strongly. ...

54 percent.

And that, right there, is the biggest reason I fear for the republic.

54 percent. not 90. or 80. or even 70. 54.

Nothing this idiot has done would ever be called great, or even good ... or even mediocre.

I don’t care what it is, if it’s above zero, it’s too high.

[Olog-hai]

That was an F in my day.

November 15th 2015: Obama speaks: “Never fear, we Have ISIL CONTAINED!”
November 16th 2015: ISIS attacks France. 129 civilians DEAD!!

Only 54%? Americans are asleep at the wheel.

Some teachers know the student hasn’t learned the subject, but if at all possible, the teacher will give this young dunce a passing grade anyway. Why? So the student can (finally!) move out of their classroom and away from their professional concerns.

It is a 100% disapproval rating at my house.

Even a majority of Democrats support boots on the ground according to this poll. I would not be bold in positing that the candidate who comes out firmly for a Blitzkrieg into Eastern Syria/Western Iraq will be the next President of the United States.

President Obama has earned his worst rating on his handling of terrorism in his career.

In his career as WHAT ?

dp0622, we are reading from the same sheet of music.
It is astounding that only a tiny 54% disapprove of his handling of terrorism.
That means, according to this poll, a full 46% shockingly approve of how he is handling terrorism.
This sociopath POTUS is going to get thousands of innocent Americans killed here in our backyard yet. He is certifiable.

I believe the events in Paris might have ended the Code Pink from the Left - Wounded Warrior from the Right mentality that has shackled the aggressiveness of the American people the last 7-8 years.

He could start by bombing them. I don't even think he's trying to do that.

Hussein should be proud ...he's handed the muzlim refugees a free pass.

If it was an ABC/ComPost poll, you can probably spot it another ten or fifteen points to get close to the real numbers.
