Majority of voters feel US is less safe today than before 9/11
Quote:For the first time, a majority of voters thinks the U.S. is less safe today than before 9/11. That’s just one finding in the latest Fox News national poll on terrorism that may concern President Obama.

Majorities of voters also think:

- Islamic extremists are making gains rather than losing ground.

- The White House is trying to downplay the threat from Islamic extremists, rather than stop it.

- The U.S. should increase airstrikes, use drone strikes and send a limited number of ground troops to Iraq and Syria to fight Islamic militants.


Majority of Americans (54-36) say the administration is more interested in downplaying the threat from ISIS rather than stopping it.

64% say they feel like Islamic terrorists are making gains in the war.

53% say the US is less safe than before 9/11.

83% approve of US airstrikes.

76% approve of increasing airstrikes.

52% favor sending troops.

Or could be that the majority of Americans understand the threat and are tired of an administration telling them there is nothing to worry about.

The rest of the media, besides fox, should talk about this and educate the remainder of the people.
