Nearly 60% of Millennials 'Disapprove of Obama,' Want US Troops Sent Back to Iraq to Fight ISIS, New Poll

Almost 60 percent of millennials "disapprove of the Obama administration's management of the rise of ISIS," and support sending U.S. ground troops back to Iraq to fight the terror group, according to a recent poll by the Harvard Institute of Politics.The Harvard Public Opinion Project's spring survey found that 57 percent of 18 to 29 year olds said they "support the U.S. sending ground troops to participate in a military campaign against ISIS;" while 40 percent of millennials polled said they oppose increasing military intervention.

The survey also reveals that in just one year, "support has grown by 10 percentage points for the U.S. to 'take the lead in solving international crises and conflicts,' (35 percent in March 2015; 25 percent in March 2014)."

Harvard's survery, however, also found that "only 23 percent of young Americans support preemptive attacks on potentially hostile nations." But support for this, too, has increased by 7 percentage points in one year when millennials were asked if they agree or disagree with this statement: "it is sometimes necessary to attack potentially hostile countries, rather than waiting until we are attacked to respond."

Millennials' support for sending U.S. troops to fight ISIS seems to match up with the overall opinion of the country based on a similar poll issued by ABC News/The Washington Post in September 2014. The survey found that 53 percent of all age groups backed sending U.S. troops to fight ISIS
