U.S. Poll: No Support For President Obama's Iran Policy



CNN: Poll: Americans skeptical Iran will stick to nuclear deal

Washington (CNN)President Barack Obama's big policy win this week -- preventing Congress from blocking the nuclear agreement with Iran -- may do little to improve his sagging approval ratings.

A new CNN/ORC poll finds 59% disapprove of the way Obama is handling the U.S. relationship with Iran, and about half would have preferred Congress reject the deal. Few believe Iran will abide by its terms, and a growing number consider the country a serious threat to the U.S.

Most Americans think Iran will ultimately violate the terms of the agreement, with 37% calling that extremely likely and 23% saying very likely. Just 10% think it's not at all likely that Iran would break the agreement. Republicans (83% likely) and independents (58% likely) are more apt to believe Iran would violate the agreement than are Democrats (44% likely).

Update: Poll: Americans not happy with Obama's handling of Iran -- Politico

WNU Editor: If these polls are accurate .... this is just another example on the how U.S. government is acting against the will of the people. But will it be translated at the ballot box? I doubt it and that is why this contradiction/disconnect is is so disconcerting.
