A majority of likely US voters support sending American ground troops to the Middle East to fight ISIS (Islamic State of Iraq and Syria), according to the latest Morning Consult/Politico poll, the Breitbart website reports today (October 3, 2016).
Fifty-five percent signaled support for ground troops to fight ISIS, while 36 percent opposed the idea.
Fifty-eight percent in the poll also signaled that they do not want the US to accept more Syrian refugees. Only 33 percent of voters supported the idea of letting in more refugees from Syria.
The numbers signal significant opposition to President Barack Obama's handling of the crisis in Syria and Iraq. Although he has launched thousands of airstrikes in the region for two years, Obama remains opposed to American ground combat troops directly fighting ISIS. Also, Obama has admitted 10,000 Syrian refugees to the US already in 2016, and said he wants 110,000 more by next year.
