Less Than Half of Liberals Support Resettling Syrian Refugees in US

[ Since a majority of liberals actually agree with the conservative position, wouldn't not bringing in Syrian refugees be something thinking liberals could be bipartisan on? ]

Only 20 percent of liberals believe Obama is winning the war on ISIS

The media is doubling down on its Syrian refugees shrieking. It repeats the same thing in a thousand columns, cartoons and editorials. But as any refugee from a Communist country will tell you, the propaganda machine shrieks loudest when it knows that public support is weakest. It's not a sign of strength when ridiculous and obscene Holocaust memes are taken out of the box or when there is a pretense of total support for a position. It's a sign of panic.

In my last poll analysis, I noted that opposition to the Syrian migrants, the majority of whom are not persecuted Christians and Yazidis, but members of the Sunni Muslim majority, was strongest in the Northeast.

This McLaughlin poll shows how weak support for resettlement is even among self-identified liberals. Liberals are still more likely to support it than anyone else, but their support is ridiculously weak.

69 percent of liberals admit immigration from the Middle East is dangerous. It's at 75 percent among Democrats.

Only 48 percent believe there's a moral duty to resettle tens of thousands of Syrians in America. 36 percent oppose. 18 percent just opt out.

Among Democrats the split is 38 yes to 39 no. Hispanic say no by a 50 to 32 percent margin. Black people say no by 37 to 35 percent. They're the greatest source of support for a Syrian bailout, likely because of lockstep support for Obama. White opposition is at 61 to 22 percent.

66 percent of liberals endorse safe havens for Syrians in their own country and region. As do 70 percent of Dems.

Only 20 percent of liberals believe Obama is winning the war on ISIS. 55 percent say he isn't.
