Nearly Two-Thirds Disapprove

The Gallup polling organization asked over 1000 Americans, by phone, about their attitudes toward the President's handling of several things, including ISIS. Here is that question:
Do you approve or disapprove of the way Barack Obama is handling the situation involving Islamic militants, commonly known as ISIS, in Iraq and Syria?
They were questioned during the period November 4-8, 2015, before the attacks in Paris happened. The results, 30% approve, 64% disapprove, and 6% have no opinion. Hat tip to Lucianne.com for the link.

Our current situation is much the same as if President Roosevelt had sympathized with Germany and Japan when Pearl Harbor was attacked. It was our good fortune in 1941 that he did not; today we're not so lucky.
