Poll: 82 Percent Of Americans Oppose Moving Forward On The Iran Nuclear Deal Without The Approval Of Congress'

The Hill: Survey: Most disapprove of moving forward on Iran without Congress

A vast majority of the public would oppose the White House moving forward with the nuclear deal with Iran without the support of Congress, according to a new survey released by an organization critical of the deal.

The poll, released by Secure America Now, found that 82 percent of Americans — including large majorities in both parties — oppose the White House granting billions of dollars in sanctions relief “without the approval of Congress.”

The survey also showed that, when informed about “secret side deals between Iran and the U.N. monitoring agency,” 61 percent of people thought that Congress should vote to kill the deal. Just 16 percent said it should be approved, despite the existence of the side deals.

The results could be troubling for supporters of the agreement.

WNU Editor: The sponsors of this poll are critical of the Iranian nuclear deal .... but these numbers are still staggering .... and also not surprising. The U.S. Congress is the voice of the people, and if Congress is ignored the consequences will be severe in the next election cycle. For the Democrats up for re-election and who are in tight races .... this drip-drip of negative news is not going to help their chances to win.

Update: Jennifer Rubin from the Washington Post is correct .... Democrats cornered on Iran (Jennifer Rubin/Washington Post).
