Most say Obama lacks ISIS strategy

More than 6 in 10 Americans believe President Obama lacks a coherent strategy for combating the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS), according to a new poll. Approximately 66 percent think Obama has no clear plan for defeating the terrorist organization, according to the CBS News poll. Only 23 percent, meanwhile, say the president has articulated a definitive blueprint for fighting the extremist group. Support for sending U.S. ground troops overseas to combat ISIS is also growing, pollsters found. Half of Americans now favor that outcome, a rise of 4 points since August. Most Americans — 63 percent — are convinced U.S. boots on the ground are unavoidable for ultimately defeating ISIS/The Hill. More here.

Question: Do you think the president has a coherent strategy for combating Islamic State in Iraq and Syria?
