Americans trust in the federal government to handle international issues is at a new low, according to a Gallup poll.

Just 43 percent of people polled have a “great deal” or “fair amount” of trust in the federal government to handle international problems, while just 40 percent feel that way about domestic issues.

Gallup says the results are from an annual governance poll, conducted last week “at a time when the government is faced with instability in many parts of the world, including Iraq and Syria, the Middle East, and Ukraine.”

President Obama will attempt to change this attitude tonight. He is scheduled to deliver an address from the White House at 9 p.m. “to discuss with the American people the threat posed by ISIL and to lay out the United States’ strategy for degrading and ultimately destroying the terrorist group.”
