23% say Obama's policies make Country less safe

As the country marks the eight-year anniversary of the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, Americans are giving the Obama administration a mixed report card on the issue of terrorism, according to a CBS News poll.

A quarter of Americans thinks the policies of the Obama administration have made the U.S. safer from terrorism, though nearly as many – 23 percent - think they have made the country less safe. Forty-two percent think the Obama administration's policies have made no difference.

Democrats are more inclined to think the policies of the Obama administration have made the country safer while Republicans are more likely to say they have made the country less safe, though a large number of both groups – as well as 44 percent of independents – think they have made no difference.
