IBD/TIPP Poll: Obama Gets Blame for Border Crisis, IRS Scandal, Iraq

The public largely blames President Obama for the flood of children who have poured over the border in recent weeks, creating a growing humanitarian crisis, according to the latest IBD/TIPP Poll released Monday.

The late June survey found that the public largely blames Obama policies for the crisis in Iraq and believes the lost IRS emails are an administration effort to cover up wrongdoing at the agency.

The poll found that 59% of those closely following the immigration crisis agree that "current administration policies and lack of focus on securing the border" are behind the human tide of illegal crossings. Six in 10 say that the children should be ordered to leave the country. (The survey found that 73% of Americans are following this story closely.)

Obama is taking hits from the public on the IRS scandal as well.

The IBD/TIPP poll found that 65% believe that the lost IRS emails are an attempt by the administration to "hide evidence that the IRS deliberately targeted conservative groups" prior to the 2012 presidential election.

The lost emails are the latest twist in a more than year-long saga that erupted when an inspector general report detailed how the IRS held up Tea Party groups' applications for tax-exempt status before the 2012 elections.
