Do We Truly Want To Go to War?

By: John Zogby Forbes.com Contributor

This post is another in a series of what to read and not read from recent polls. There is clearly a growing awareness in the United States of that international band of psychotic, barbaric criminals who go by the rotating names of ISIS (The Islamic State in Iraq and Syria), ISIL (The Islamic State in the Levant), or simply IS (The Islamic State). There is no question that they are dangerous, growing, increasingly monstrous - and that they must be stopped. New polling by CNN/Opinion Research shows that a majority of Americans (57%) disapprove of President Barack Obama's handling of the threat that ISIS poses and that 58 percent think American military action against the group is going badly. In the fall, both those numbers were at 49 percent. More than three in four (78%) back a new authorization for use of military force against ISIS.
