President Obama, Hillary Clinton and other senior Democrats refuse to say America is at war with “radical Islamic terrorism” for fear of insulting all Muslims, but voters beg to disagree.
A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that 60% of Likely U.S. Voters believe the United States is at war with radical Islamic terrorism. Just 24% share the president’s position and disagree. Sixteen percent (16%) are undecided. (To see survey question wording, click here.)
Even 56% of Democrats believe America is at war with radical Islamic terrorism, a view shared by 70% of Republicans and 54% of voters not affiliated with either major party.
A staggering 92% of all voters now regard radical Islamic terrorism as a serious threat to the United States. This includes 73% who say it is a Very Serious one, up 23 points from 50% in October of last year.
The survey of 1,000 Likely Voters was conducted on November 17-18, 2015 by Rasmussen Reports. The margin of sampling error is +/- 3 percentage points with a 95% level of confidence. Field work for all Rasmussen Reports surveys is conducted by Pulse Opinion Research, LLC. See methodology.
That’s a whole bunch of people telling Barack Obama to wake up.
At this point, with a progressive leader in office for seven years, I think president by committee might just be a better option. Though, I don’t think Obama even listens to his right hand man and top advisers all that often.
Does America really want a third Obama term via Hillary Clinton?
She’s not going to be any better on foreign policy, and she proved that when she ran the State Department.
We need a true leader back in office with a capitalized ‘R’ next to his name to ensure that the 92% number takes a nosedive.
