Poll: Americans Feel That Obama Is A More Imminent Threat Than Putin And Assad According to recent reports from BizPac, a Reuters-Ipsos online questionnaire just revealed that Americans now view President Obamas policies as more of a threat than international leaders ranging from Russian President Vladimir Putin to Syrian President Bashar al-Assad. The poll asked almost 3,000 Americans to rank a series of threats on a scale from 1 to 5, with 5 being the most imminent threat. According to the poll, 34% of Republicans viewed Obama as the largest threat, followed by Putin at 25%, and Assad at 23%. There tends to be a lot of demonizing of the person who is in the office, sociologist Barry Glassner said of the results. The TV media here, and American politics, very much trade on fears. What do you think of the results? Are these fears justified?
