POLL: 72% believe US will use ground forces against ISIS

[morningfog]

Despite President Barack Obama’s assertion that combat troops won’t be sent to fight the Islamic State in Iraq or Syria, a recent survey shows a majority of U.S. voters think those military forces will end up over there.

This finding comes from a new NBC News/Wall Street Journal/Annenberg poll, which also shows that Americans are divided over the merits of using U.S. combat troops – 45 percent are in favor of using them if military commanders think they’re the best way to defeat the ISIS army, while 37 percent are opposed. The answers from voters shows 72 percent of Americans believe the United States will use its ground troops anyway against ISIS, versus just 20 percent who think it won’t.

1. Most Americans can't find Syria or Iraq on a map. But they know about football and Karsashians.

5. DUers are not representative of Americans. That woman is a superstar from MTV's Jersey Shore.

Reality series about Long Islanders and others who party and sleep together and go to clubs on the Jersey Shore.

That picture is of a young Snookie, now married and a mom but still well known, especially by that demographic that can't find Syria or Iraq on a map.

6. Well, that explains it.....

if it's called 'reality TV', I refuse to watch it.


And haven't had the TV on MTV since they stopped playing music.

Works every time.
