Poll: Americans Back Iran Deal, Don't Want Congress To Crush It
The Huffington Post * by Michael McAuliff * 4/10/2015
WASHINGTON -- Americans mostly approve of the outline of the Iran nuclear deal and don't want Congress to block it, according to a poll released Friday.
The survey by Hart Research on behalf of the Democratically aligned Americans United for Change found that 61 percent of the country favor the deal, while 34 percent oppose it.
And perhaps more importantly, 65 percent of voters don't want Congress to block the deal, compared with 30 percent who do. The poll, done this week of 806 voters, has a margin of error of plus or minus 3.5 percentage points.
It also reveals a partisan divide on the issue, with Republican voters being the only ones who oppose the deal -- 52 to 41 percent -- and who are split on whether Congress should interfere, with 48 percent saying to block it and 47 percent wanting the lawmakers to let it advance.
