A majority (52%) of Americans want Congress to reject the Iran nuclear deal, while 44 percent say lawmakers should uphold it, according to a CNN/ORC poll on Tuesday.
Among Republicans, 66% want to see Congress torpedo the deal, while 61% of Democrats want Congress to back it. Some 55% of independents want it to be shot down by Congress.
Most adults over 35 are opposed to the deal (56%), while citizens between 18-34 were more likely to say Congress ought to approve the deal (53%). College graduates were more likely to urge Congressional support for the deal (53%) than those with no formal higher education (37%).
Still, Obama’s approval ratings remain relatively high at 49%, the poll finds.
The survey, conducted July 22-25, interviewed 1,017 adults, including 898 registered voters. The margin of error stands at 3 percent.
Help us report truthfully on social media
As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
If you believe in the importance of factual social media journalism, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to sustain responsible multimedia reporting.
