More than half of Americans uneasy about Trump handling Syria: poll

Nearly six in 10 Americans feel uneasy about U.S. President Donald Trump's approach to handling the situation in Syria, according to a recent poll.

As many as 59 percent of respondents are uneasy about Trump's handling of the Syrian crisis, while four in 10 respondents feel confident about Trump's ability, showed the new CBS News poll released earlier this week.

Despite the low level of confidence in Trump's ability to handle the situation in Syria, more than half of Americans say that the U.S. campaign against the extremist group Islamic State goes at least somewhat well, with 9 percent saying that the U.S. campaign goes very well.

Meanwhile, the poll also found that more respondents are skeptical of Trump's ability as commander-in-chief of the U.S. military.

Only 46 percent respondents express at least somewhat confidence in Trump's ability, while 17 percent say not too confident and another 35 percent express no confidence at all in Trump's ability.

The Trump administration's botched travel ban also appeared to take its toll on Trump's polling number, with 46 percent respondents say that Trump is making the U.S. image in the world weaker, compared to 36 percent of respondents who say the U.S. image in the world has become stronger since Trump took office.
