Nearly 56 percent of Americans say President Obama doesn’t have what it takes to fight Islamic terrorists, and only 33 percent think he’s up to the job, a new Fox News poll showed.
The poor showing comes as 64 percent also believe the threat from the Islamic State is growing. Only 4 percent think the danger’s decreasing, Fox News reported.
Meanwhile, Mr. Obama’s numbers for overall foreign policy aren’t that much better. He only gets a 34 percent approval rating in that category, compared to a 57 percent disapproval, the poll showed.
