A new national poll of America's 18- to 29-year-olds by the Harvard's Institute of Politics at the John F. Kennedy School of Government finds that a solid majority of support sending Ground Troops to fight ISIS.
This polling occurred before the Nov. 13 Paris terrorist attacks said that America's youth was mostly split over U.S. ground troops against the so-called Islamic State with 48% for and 48% against.
However, after the attacks, IOP polling fielded the question again. Those results show that 60% of young Americans are in favor of "boots on the ground".
How do you feel about sending ground troops to combat ISIS? Is a recent large-scale incident what it takes to galvanize today's youth?
