Presidential contest changed due to Paris attacks

Since the Paris bombings, there has been quite the scare here in the United States. It is effecting the presidential runnings too because in a recent poll, Americans are more worried about terrorism, than the economy like they once used to be. American's are now fearing Muslims and Syrian refugee more than before as well because of the recent attacks but its interesting to me in this article that it is automatically blamed on the Muslims to be ISIS. The ISIS people who are in America most likely do not even look Muslim because ISIS members can be anyone. I think that the Americans who are scared of the refugees are also unaware that these are mostly people fleeing for their lives and are not going to be terrorists. ISIS already has many plans and the terrorists can be any average person. They are also fearing that Obama has not done enough for homeland security since the recent attacks, but it is hard to do that because of the fact that many of the terrorists here are homegrown americans or legally here and not exactly people who are trying to get here to attack. We are also in the middle of a war in the Middle East so it is also difficult to enforce homeland security as well because we are trying to figure out relations with some of the countries there as well.
