Most Americans credit Trump for Baghdadi death, but raid doesn't shake negative ratings of president

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

A majority of Americans say President Trump deserves credit for the death of Islamic State leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, although this past weekend’s successful raid has failed to improve ratings for Trump’s strength as a leader, a Washington Post-ABC News poll finds.

The public also offers mixed reactions to Trump’s withdrawal of American troops from the border between Syria and Turkey, with over 4 in 10 saying the move will weaken U.S. efforts against the Islamic State while others predict little negative impact.

The Post-ABC poll conducted Sunday through Wednesday finds a 54 percent majority of Americans saying Trump should get a great deal or “some” credit for Baghdadi’s death after ordering a nighttime military raid of a compound in northwest Syria on Saturday. Trump said Baghdadi fled into a dead-end tunnel where he detonated a suicide vest that killed him. No U.S. troops died or were injured in the raid.
