Forbes: Most Americans Now Support Sending Ground Troops To Fight ISIS
Over half of Americans would now support the United States sending ground troops to battle ISIS. That’s the result of a YouGov poll conducted in early March. One of the key reasons 53 percent of people are in favour of ground troops is that there are few viable alternatives.
Even though air strikes in Iraq and Syria have stalled the momentum of ISIS militants, less than one in four Americans believe they can be defeated through air power alone. Democrats are divided when it comes to supporting an American ground offensive. However, the same can’t be said of Republicans – 69 percent of them would support a deployment of ground troops while just 23 percent would be opposed.
WNU Editor: This is a major shift in U.S. public opinion. Will the White House and Congress react to reflect this sentiment .... I do not see that happening now.
