Overwhelmingly, Americans See Obama Inviting Attack

Nearly two of three Americans surveyed in a new poll believe the United States is more likely to be targeted in an attack – either by a hostile military or a terrorist organization – because of the policies of President Obama.

A majority also disagree with his newly announced policy against using nuclear weapons against nations or groups that would attack the U.S. with biological or chemical weapons of mass destruction.

Citing the possibility of either a terrorist attack or a military assault on U.S. shores, the poll, the first national assessment to address the issue, asked, "Do you think the current policies of the Obama administration are making it more or less likely that the U.S. will suffer such an attack?"

Forty-six percent responded much more likely and another 13.6 percent somewhat more likely. Only about 28 percent said somewhat less likely or much less likely.

Even a combined 28 percent of Democrats conceded an attack was somewhat more or much more likely. The categories included more than 92 percent of Republicans and more than 60 percent of independents.

The poll conducted by Fritz Wenzel of Wenzel Strategies for WND also revealed that a plurality strongly disagrees with the president's promise that rules out using nuclear weapons against enemies who attack the U.S. with a biological or chemical weapon.
