Who do you trust to handle terrorism?

Conventional wisdom has it that, in times of national security crises, people trust Republicans to keep them safe more than they do Democrats.

A Washington Post/ABC News poll released yesterday asked just that question.   Here are the results:

 49%  Hillary Clinton
40%  Ben Carson

 50%  Hillary Clinton
42%  Donald Trump

 48%  Hillary Clinton
40%  Ted Cruz

 47%  Hillary Clinton
43%  Marco Rubio

 46%  Hillary Clinton
43%  Jeb Bush

 So maybe the Republicans' scare tactics are not as effective as we feared.

    Another misleading statement by the media! Look at the polling data here http://www.langerresearch.com/wp-content/uploads/1173a3TrustonTerrorism.pdf. The ratio of those sampled is a full 10% higher on the Democratic side. 33% D 23% R 36% I.
