Most Americans say they are worried about Iran developing a nuclear weapons program, and think President Obama should be tougher on the rogue nation. In addition, a clear majority supports the use of force to prevent Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons.

According to a new FOX News poll released Thursday, a sizable 69 percent majority of Americans thinks President Obama has not been tough enough on Iran. That includes over half of Democrats (55 percent), two-thirds of independents (67 percent) and almost all Republicans (88 percent).

Some 16 percent of Americans think the president's actions have been "about right" and hardly any -- 6 percent -- say he has been "too tough" on Iran.

Click here to see the poll.

By a two-to-one margin the public thinks the U.S. will eventually need to use military force to stop Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons -- 59 percent think so, while 29 percent think Iran can be stopped without the use of force.

Fox News Poll = 61 percent say use force to stop Iran

Too bad, 0bama’s internal polling says to hold hands and sing Kumbaya, prepare mass mailings of sympathy cards for irradiated and incinerated Jews when Ahmadinnerbiscuit drops a nuke on Tel Aviv.

The only people BO would use force on would be those Americans who rise up against his crazy policies. There is no way he would consider using force on any country unless it actually attacked us; and then, I bet it would be extremely limited. He is already back pedaling on Afghanistan.

Knock out the nuke sites, knock out the mad mullahs, and let them run their own country. They aren’t bad people, its only their leadership that is evil.

Let me back up on my comment; I can see him seeking the use of force against Israel if they attack Iran.

God help us if we become a poll driven nation.

This is dangerous particularly because we have NO leader.

Just a series of political hacks caring only for their own America hating agenda.

Obama has neither the intelligence nor gonads to do anything other read from a teleprompter. His wife wears the pants and the jock strap in the family. Obama is the typical effete liberal.

When you look at Michele, you can see testosterone; when you look at BO, you see a scarecrow.
