The study by CNN and the Opinion Research Corporation was released on Monday, weeks after deadly terrorist attacks in Paris and San Bernardino, California.

CNN和民意調(diào)查公司(Opinion Research Corporation，簡稱ORC)聯(lián)合進行的這項調(diào)查于周一發(fā)布，距離巴黎和加州圣貝納迪諾致命恐怖襲擊只有幾個星期。

Almost three-quarters of those asked criticized efforts by the administration of President Barack Obama to fight terrorists. In 2007, 61 percent of those asked were critical of the anti-terror efforts of then-President George W. Bush. Obama is a Democrat. Bush is a Republican.

近四分之三的被調(diào)查者批評了奧巴馬政府打擊恐怖分子所作出的努力。在2007年，有61%的被調(diào)查者批評了當(dāng)時布什總統(tǒng)的反恐努力。奧巴馬是民主黨人，布什是共和黨人。

The survey showed 55 percent of members of the Republican party believe Islamist militants are winning. Fifty-two percent of Democrats believe neither side is winning.

本次調(diào)查顯示，55%的共和黨人認為伊斯蘭激進分子開始贏得一切。52%的民主黨認為任何一方都不是贏家。

Almost 60 percent of Democrats asked said they were not happy with Obama's efforts. Seventy-nine percent of independents and 86 percent of Republicans said they were unhappy with the president's anti-terrorism activities.

近60%被調(diào)查到的民主黨人表示他們對奧巴馬的成績并不滿意。79%的獨立人士和86%的共和黨人表示他們對奧巴馬總統(tǒng)的反恐措施不滿意。

ORC spoke to 1,018 adult Americans in the middle of December. Almost all of them were registered voters.

民意調(diào)查公司11月中旬同1018位美國成年人進行了談話。這些人幾乎都是登記選民。

Forty-nine percent of those asked said they support sending American troops to fight Islamic State militants who now control large parts of Syria and northern and western Iraq. In the days after the attack in San Bernardino, a similar study showed 53 percent support for sending ground troops to fight the terrorists.

49%的被調(diào)查者表示，他們支持派遣美軍去打擊現(xiàn)在控制著敘利亞和伊拉克西部大部分地區(qū)的伊斯蘭國武裝分子。在圣貝納迪諾襲擊發(fā)生之后，一項類似的調(diào)查顯示，53%的被調(diào)查者支持派遣地面部隊打擊恐怖分子。

Americans disagree about what to call the strikes. Fifty-seven percent said the country is involved in a "military conflict." Forty percent said it should be called a "war." This level of disagreement is almost exactly the same as in September 2014.

美國人對所謂的空襲持不同意見。57%的被調(diào)查者表示，美國卷入了一場軍事沖突。40%的被調(diào)查者表示，這應(yīng)該被稱之為一場戰(zhàn)爭。這種分歧程度同2014年9月份如出一轍。

Several recent public opinion polls have shown that Americans are more worried about security than the economy.

最近的幾項民意調(diào)查顯示，美國人擔(dān)心安全甚過經(jīng)濟。
