Terrorism has vaulted to the nation's No. 1 issue as Americans say they are as concerned about attacks as they were after the Boston Marathon bombing in 2013, according to a new poll.

A Reuters/Ipsos poll said that virtually everybody has heard of the ISIS attacks in Paris, pushing terrorism into a tie with the economy, not global warming as Democratic candidates have claimed.

The poll also found that 60 percent of Americans want Washington to do more to attack ISIS, though they prefer air strikes over troop involvement.

The details of the poll:

allies and befriends our enemies...Our nation is
ridiculed abroad and morally crumbling within. We are
in trouble.” - Franklin Graham

Excellent for Trump. He has been harping on terrorists coming in through the Mexican border, promising to defund ISIS . Tailor made for him and he hit it hard in his Knoxville speech.

“The president is staying with his strategy, he says.
(Even though a short while back he said he had no strategy.)”......

That explains it rather clearly, having no strategy in the first place, he is not changing. Makes it pretty clear to me.

Yeah and 90%+ wanted Bush to go to war after 9-11 but blame him now for doing so.

That’s one thing I admire about Franklin Graham... unlike his Dad who carefully avoided delving into issues like this, he’s quite willing to make pointed and public statements, regardless of who might be offended.

you can say that again. I remember being 12 in the doctor’s office when they announced he was shot.

Thank God he was ok.

Always felt secure as a kid knowing he was in office.

This pResident traitor gives me no comfort. Just fear and anger.

we MUST make it to 2017.

those lost souls in Paris may have sacrificed themselves not in vain if it stops us from bringing in “refugees” and gets Europe to reverse course.

although that ##### merkel is doubling down!!!!!! I can’t believe what she said yesterday.

Obama is treacherous, is she just plain dumb, spoiled, elitist brat. I thought she was from East Germany. I dont get it. Was she indoctrinated possibly?

I shudder to think of all the people that were shot and hung for treason . . . the very acts that this president commits daily from the very White House.

I wouldn’t shutter if this administration faces those charges.

Charges that are LONG overdue at this point.

And I would NEVER say that lightly.

he is a traitor working with MB to bring about the fall of europe and America.

all of a sudden freedom of religion matters so much to him.

But surely these people he is bringing, all healthy males for some reason, must HATE gays.

But that doesn’t matter now.

Can’t be good for trump

On what do you base this? I think this reawakening is excellent news for Trump.

“Global warming (sic) is at the exact bottom of the list off americans’ concerns.”

Which puts us at the point where government is not working
in the interest of the people but actually against it. Time to
throw it off.

When I was just out of college I volunteered for the phonebanks for Reagan’s campaign. I thought the Massachusetts vote for Reagan mattered. 8-)

.....”For sure, the military arm of Islam must be evicted from America and their communications and control centers (mosques and compounds) shut down.”......

Muslims use our laws and freedoms of religion to fight against any constrictions or interference in their agenda and establishment of their Mosques and Community Centers as their beach heads.....they utilize a vast number of ‘Attorneys’ who focus on just how to ‘use’ and ‘abuse’ our laws and freedoms favorably toward Muslims but their motives have nothing to do with “freedom’.....rather to continue the march of making America an Islamic Nation.

‘Stealth Jihad” is making huge progress here ...and they have many times said they will conquer this nation without firing a single bullet as they infiltrate our political and legal systems. There is no pushback currently to speak of against this.

Someone in congress needs to take this subversive un-American activity into question. Are you now or have you ever been a jihadist?
