From the just-released Quinnipiac poll:
American voters oppose 57 – 28 percent, with only lukewarm support from Democrats and overwhelming opposition for Republicans and independent voters, the nuclear pact negotiated with Iran, according to a Quinnipiac University national poll released today.

Voters say 58 – 30 percent the nuclear pact will make the world less safe, the independent Quinnipiac (KWIN-uh-pe-ack) University Poll finds.
|
Opposing the Iran deal are Republicans 86 – 3 percent and independent voters 55 – 29 percent, while Democrats support it 52 – 32 percent. There is little gender gap as men oppose the deal 59 – 30 percent and women oppose it 56 – 27 percent.

If these data are true, what do they tell you about how the public views this “deal”?
Republicans, as might be expected, are almost monolithically opposed. But 32% of Democrats? That has got to be an issue – a huge one – for the Democrat Party. And an even bigger issue is the almost 2-1 margin among independents – the “swing” voters who are therefore most likely to change the course of elections.
This “deal” is a disaster. And other than hardline Democrats and the dutifully leftward majority of mainstream media, people seem to know it.
Waiting for Thursday\’s vote….
