Americans are more fearful about the likelihood of another terrorist attack than at any other time since the weeks after Sept. 11, 2001, a gnawing sense of dread that has helped lift Donald J. Trump to a new high among Republican primary voters, according to the latest New York Times/CBS News poll. From Our Advertisers
In the aftermath of attacks by Islamic extremists in Paris and in San Bernardino, Calif., a plurality of the public views the threat of terrorism as the top issue facing the country. A month ago, only 4 percent of Americans said terrorism was the most important problem; now, 19 percent say it is, above any other issue.
Mr. Trump, who has called for monitoring mosques and even barring Muslims from entering the United States, has been the clear beneficiary of this moment of deep anxiety. More than four in 10 Republican primary voters say the quality most important to them in a candidate is strong leadership, which eclipses honesty, empathy, experience or electability. These voters heavily favor Mr. Trump.
The survey was largely conducted before Mr. Trump’s proposal, announced Monday, to temporarily block Muslims from entering the country.

And here I thought we were doing it because he’s a realty tv star!
It’s hard to keep track these days!
The nyslimes calls it fear while the rest of America calls it preparing for the expanding war against Islam.
We sit day after day and watch the imposter and his regime, infultrators, traitors and foreign unvaders destroy our country form within and the people we elected to fight for us are busy fighting with thier own and trying to hang the candidate that leads in the polls and replace him with a good ol boy so they can continue business as usual with the rats
It may be “fear” if you’re a Democrat. For Republicans it is anger. We were not afraid of the Japanese after Pearl Harbor. We were angry. The same today.
But..But..Bush-43 told us Islam is a religion of Peace! Why fear peaceful people? /S
Uh, the feckless response by Team Valerie and the GOP-e boosts DT.
This graphic makes no sense to me.
The dog is traumatized imagining a Hillary Presidency... first visions of Islamic terror, then Hillary in an abbaya...
oh well, can’t win ‘em all...
I think it’s fantastic. Torturing that poor dog....lmao. Hopefully they gave him some cupcake ;)
So he can’t get even enjoy his cupcakes!
It is not fear of terrorism that drives people to Trump, but, the fear of not doing anything against terrorism that drives people to Trump.
They haven't a clue that Trump's rise is because he speaks the Truth that pisses the Left off, doesn't apologize or back down from their rhetoric and speaks common sense when others stick to the suicidal PC-meme.
He is to today's politicians what Thomas Paine was to his readers - Common Sense.
