The poll released Monday shows that Americans favor: -- Additional airstrikes against ISIS (76% favor, 23% oppose) -- Military aid to forces fighting ISIS (62% favor, 37% oppose) -- Providing humanitarian aid to people fleeing ISIS (83% favor, 16% oppose) But a majority of Americans, 61%-38%, oppose placing U.S. soldiers on the ground in Iraq and Syria to combat the terrorist group. Even as Americans support military action against ISIS, they still want Obama to seek authority from Congress before taking any action. More than 7 in 10 Americans think Obama should ask Congress for the ability to strike ISIS militarily. And 8 in 10 Americans support Congress approving military force against ISIS. Americans are not happy with how Obama has addressed the ISIS situation. The CNN/ORC poll shows that only 30% of Americans think that he has a clear plan for dealing with ISIS. Overall, the Presidents approval rating is 43%, while 55% disapprove how he is handling his role as commander in chief.
