While a majority of Americans support President Obama’s plan to take out the Islamic State, most of them have little confidence that he will be able to pull it off, according to a new survey.
A new NBC News/Wall Street Journal/Annenberg poll finds that 62 percent of voters back the president’s approach to deal with the Islamic terrorist group, nearly three times the number who oppose it. Yet, more than two-thirds, 68 percent, have “very little” or “just some” confidence that he will succeed in eliminating the group. Meanwhile, 28 percent have “a great deal” or “quite a bit” of confidence.
The findings also give President Obama low marks on his foreign policy overall: Just 38 percent approve of his handling of global affairs.
