Americans Trust Hillary Clinton Over Donald Trump On Terrorism

It’s too early to tell where public opinion will land after the latest bombings, but polls conducted since the Paris attack in November have shown Americans considerably concerned about terrorism. Surveys also show Americans tend to trust Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton more than other presidential candidates to handle it.

For a brief period after the Paris attack, Americans named terrorism as the biggest problem in the U.S., topping the economy.

Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump was quick to take advantage of the concern — and anti-Muslim sentiment, proposing to temporarily ban all Muslims from entering the country. The idea arguably boosted him in the polls.

Even so, an ABC/Washington Post poll conducted soon after that found Americans trusted Clinton more than any other presidential candidate to handle terrorism. Recent polls indicate that Americans continue to see Clinton as the most trusted candidate to handle the issue.

Over either of them.

If Hillary gains the nomination I will not vote for her.
