President Obama, under fire in Congress and on the presidential campaign trail for doing too little to stop the Islamic State terror group, has lost the support of America, with most now saying that the administration isn’t winning the war.
A new poll out Monday found that American voters believe the U.S. and its allies are losing the fight by a margin of 64 percent to 17 percent. “Republicans, Democrats and independent voters, and men and women, all agree the U.S. is losing,” said the latest Quinnipiac University national poll.

“Americans, by a huge margin, believe the fight against ISIS is being lost,” added Tim Malloy, assistant director of the Quinnipiac University Poll.
The latest Quinnipiac University Poll found support for same sex marriage.
It was a rare sign of unity among the party faithful in the respected poll. On many other issues, notably same-sex marriage, Democrats and Republicans were on opposite side of issues.
At the same time, however, voters sounded more isolationist. For example, 64 percent said that the U.S. “is doing too much around the world and should focus more on domestic problems.” Half, or 32 percent, said the U.S. should continue to promote democracy.
