US support for Iran deal reaches highest point: poll
The Hill ^ | May 02, 2018 | Aris Folley

Posted on 05/05/2018 7:47:25 AM PDT by Colonel Kangaroo

Public support for the Iran deal has reached its highest point previously recorded, according to a new poll, right as a deadline approaches for President Trump to re-certify the agreement in 10 days.

56 percent of people polled in the Morning Consult–Politico survey released Wednesday morning backed the nuclear deal, while 26 percent opposed it.

Republican voters are split, with 46 percent of voters in favor of the bill versus 42 percent against it.

The level of net support is at its highest since the last time it reached 56 percent, in April 2017.

The agreement, also known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, was agreed upon between Iran and the United States, China, France, Germany, Russia, the United Kingdom and the European Union back in 2015.

The results arrive on the heels of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s controversial news conference Monday, during which he accused Iranian leaders of lying about the country's pursuit of nuclear weapons before agreeing to the deal in 2015.

The survey polled 1,991 registered voters and has a 2 percentage point margin of error.

The Left is inexorable. They have setbacks but they just regroup and keep coming. Trump has slowed them down but they’re not out. They’re just readying themselves for the next assault on our Republic.

It isn't just the left for the deal. There are a lot of principled non-interventionist Trump voters and conservatives who are wary about scrapping the deal and raising tensions further in that part of the world. The more we turn up the heat on Iran, the more their leaders can advertise themselves as the hero defenders of the nation.

Wait a minute. Nobody even knows what is in the deal to approve of or disapprove of? That includes the press.

These ‘principled’ people must prefer the appeasement route. That always works so well.

Impossible.

Americans are vastly ignorant that such a deal exists.

If there was a treaty Obama negotiated that required the US to throw a thousand kittens a month into a wood chipper and Trump wanted to exit it, the MSM would cook up a poll showing that everyone is for tossing kittens into a wood chipper

What a pathetic bit of fake news. First of all, I doubt if anyone has any idea what is in that nobama-sellout “agreement”. What a pathetic miscarriage of justice that nobama and his minions aren’t tired, convicted and hanging for this.

Everyone needs to ask himself: Is it possible to prevent the Mad Mullahs from getting nuclear weapons without “raising tensions”? Was it possible to stop Hitler/Communists without “raising tensions”?

Gaslighting polls.

Like 99% of the people they asked have a clue of what’s in the deal. Probably half don’t even know what an “Iran” is.

when this deal is canceled, we need to bomb the equivalent damage that the cash was worth to set them back to the point at which they lied.

The poll kind of went like this.

Do you support the Iranian deal that you know nothing about other than the Great and Powerful Obama put it together... push 1 for yes

Or

Do you support tearing up the Iranian deal that Dirtbag and soon-to-be impeach President Trump is looking at doing. If NO push 2.

No other options.
