November 27 December 1, 2015

Now here are a few questions about the Islamic militant group often referred to as ISIS (PRONO: EYE-siss)
that controls some areas of Iraq and Syria. The group is also sometimes referred to as ISIL (PRONO: EYEsill) or as the Islamic State. As you may know, the U.S. has conducted air strikes against ISIS forces in Iraq
and in Syria and has special forces troops on the ground in both countries to advise and assist in fighting
ISIS, but there are no U.S. combat troops fighting ISIS forces in either country.
7.

In general, how would you say things are going for the U.S. in its military action against ISIS forces
in Iraq and Syria -- very well, moderately well, moderately badly, or very badly?

November 27 December 1, 2015

METHODOLOGY
A total of 1,020 adults were interviewed by telephone nationwide by live interviewers calling both landline and cell phones.
Among the entire sample, 30% described themselves as Democrats, 26% described themselves as Republicans, and 44% described
themselves as independents or members of another party.
All respondents were asked questions concerning basic demographics, and the entire sample was weighted to reflect national
Census figures for gender, race, age, education, region of country, and telephone usage.
Crosstabs on the following pages only include results for subgroups with enough unweighted cases to produce a sampling error of
+/- 8.5 percentage points or less. Some subgroups represent too small a share of the national population to produce crosstabs with
an acceptable sampling error. Interviews were conducted among these subgroups, but results for groups with a sampling error
larger than +/-8.5 percentage points are not displayed and instead are denoted with "N/A".
