CNN: Poll: After a year fighting ISIS, few see progress
Washington (CNN)Just over a year into the U.S. military campaign against ISIS in Iraq and Syria, the American public has its worst impression yet of how things are going there, and expresses broad doubts that President Barack Obama has a clear plan to deal with the militant group, according to a new CNN/ORC poll.
Just 31% say the military action against ISIS is going well for the U.S., down from 38% in May and 48% a year ago. That's close to the low point reached in the public's assessment of the military action in Iraq in 2007, when just 28% said that mission was going well.
Nine in 10 consider ISIS a serious threat to the U.S., outpacing concerns about Iran, China, North Korea or Russia by double digits. All told, 70% describe ISIS as a "very serious threat," more than 25 points ahead of Iran (44%), which is viewed as the next largest threat.
