A majority of Americans gave President Trump credit for a raid in Syria that killed Islamic State leader Abu Bakr al Baghdadi.
A new ABC/Washington Post poll found a total of 54% of Americans said Trump deserved the credit, with 76% of Republicans crediting Trump but only 39% of Democrats doing the same.
Forty-five percent of Republicans said the death of Baghdadi will make American safer while only 15% of Democrats believed it would.
The poll is a contrast to former President Barack Obama, who was credited by 76% of Americans with the death of Osama bin Laden.
A strong plurality of 44% versus 12% of Americans believe Trump’s Syria withdrawal will hurt American efforts to fight ISIS.
