A majority of Americans in a new ABC News/Washington Post poll give Donald Trump credit for the death of ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, but at a level that far lags credit for Barack Obama after the killing of Osama Bin Laden in May 2011.
Fifty-four percent say Trump deserves at least some credit for al-Baghdadi’s death in a raid by U.S. special forces Saturday in Syria – a great deal of credit, 22%, and “some” credit, 32%. That compares with 76% who credited Obama for the raid that killed bin Laden.
