Does The Amercian Public Support Sending Ground Troops To Wage War Against The Islamic State?

CBS: Do Americans want to send ground troops to fight ISIS?

Amid more executions by the militant group ISIS, Americans increasingly see the group as a threat to the U.S. Now, 65 percent of Americans view ISIS as a major threat - up from 58 percent in October - while another 18 percent view it as a minor threat. Majorities of Republicans (86 percent), Democrats (61 percent) and independents (57 percent) view ISIS as a major threat.

With concern about ISIS growing, support for the use of U.S. ground troops in the fight against ISIS has risen. For the first time, a majority of Americans (57 percent) favor the U.S. sending ground troops into Iraq and Syria to fight ISIS. In October, Americans were divided (47 percent favored and 46 percent opposed), and in September these numbers were reversed (39 percent favored and 55 percent opposed).

WNU Editor: I can easily see U.S. special forces becoming more actively involved in this war .... but sending tens of thousands of U.S. ground troops .... I just do not see President Obama doing that.
