Bad news. The American public unanimously agrees that the war with ISIS is going atrociously. After fighting the group for a year, only 31 percent of polled Americans said they thought the war was making progress. A good 51 percent said they distrusted President Obama as commander-in-chief.

It’s not hard to see why people are so pessimistic about fighting ISIS. The military’s plan to train an anti-ISIS fighting force in Syria has only resulted in four or five solid recruits, and the group’s violent execution videos are enough to set anyone on edge.

The good news is that while the American outlook on the war with ISIS is on the decline, fewer Americans are literally running away to join the Islamic State.

Earlier this year, the FBI reported that nine citizens a month were conspiring to leave the country and join the terrorist organization. Thankfully, that rate has declined to just six defections in the last three months.

“We’re starting to notice that curve, which was going up like a hockey stick, has flattened a little bit,” FBI Director James Comey told Congress. “We are seeing fewer people attempt to travel to join ISIL in Syria.”

Comey estimated that while about 20,000 people worldwide have fled their homelands to join ISIS in Syria, only 200 Americans have attempted to do so.

The FBI said nothing of the amount of Americans leaving the country to fight ISIS. Many military veterans have volunteered to head back to the front lines, including an entire family of Marines, a mother of young kids, and a so-called Christian army.
