WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A third of Republicans believe President Barack Obama poses an imminent threat to the United States, outranking concerns about Russian President Vladimir Putin and Syrian President Bashar al-Assad.
A Reuters/Ipsos online poll this month asked 2,809 Americans to rate how much of a threat a list of countries, organizations and individuals posed to the United States on a scale of 1 to 5, with one being no threat and 5 being an imminent threat.
The poll showed 34 percent of Republicans ranked Obama as an imminent threat, ahead of Putin (25 percent), who has been accused of aggression in the Ukraine, and Assad (23 percent). Western governments have alleged that Assad used chlorine gas and barrel bombs on his own citizens. Read graphic here http://bit.ly/1BQ7g0r
Given the level of polarization in American politics the results are not that surprising, said Barry Glassner, a sociologist and author of "The Culture of Fear: Why Americans are afraid of the wrong things."
"There tends to be a lot of demonizing of the person who is in the office," Glassner said, adding that "fear mongering" by the Republican and Democratic parties would be a mainstay of the U.S. 2016 presidential campaign.
"The TV media here, and American politics, very much trade on fears," he said.
what is it that Dems fear monger about i only notice the pointing out of how republicans trying to kill Iran talks, siding with the real saber waver Netanyahu, arming crazies with carry permits, taking food stamps and voter blocking causing us real problems, that's not fear mongering that's called telling the truth, the real 411, turning a light on the scourge, exposing republican skulduggery that's all that is.
they need to make up their minds before the confuse each other and someone tells the truth. last few months he's been leading from the rear, not leading basically a punk, while they showed their man love and envy for Putin making him the 2015 version of he man and iron man rolled into one.
now Pres. is Putin and Putin gets no mention republican fickled lovers they are so ridiculously funny think about this at the same time Netanyahu is including Pres. in the neo axis of evil 2015
