Fox News Poll: 81 percent expect ISIS attack on US, majority says keep Gitmo openhttp://www.foxnews.com/politics/2014/12/11/fox-news-poll-81-percent-expect-isis-attack-on-us-majority-says-keep-gitmo-open/A majority of American voters want any ISIS terrorist captured by the United States sent to Guantanamo Bay rather than a federal prison. That?s a key finding of the latest Fox News poll, as President Obama wants to close Gitmo amid widespread fears ISIS will try to strike the homeland soon.
A large 81-percent majority expects the Islamic extremist group ISIS to attempt a U.S. attack in the near future, including 48 percent who think it is ?very? likely, according to the poll released Wednesday.

If an ISIS fighter were to be captured by the U.S., where should that prisoner be sent? By a 59-29 percent margin, voters say the Guantanamo Bay detention center in Cuba.
Obama wants to close the facility and fulfill a 2008 campaign promise, yet 56 percent of voters want to keep it open. That?s up from 52 percent in June, though down from a record 63 percent in 2013.
