Majorities in three key swing states reject the Iran nuclear deal.
In Florida, Ohio and Pennsylvania, a wide majority of voters reject the Iran nuclear deal announced last month, according to a new Quinnipiac University poll, while also saying the agreement would make the world less safe instead of safer.
Florida voters oppose the nuclear deal, 61 percent to 25 percent, while 61 percent to 27 percent also said it would make the world less safe. In Ohio, 58 percent opposed the agreement, compared to 24 percent who support it. In addition, 56 percent to 26 percent think the agreement would lead to a less safe world. In Pennsylvania, 61 percent of voters oppose the deal, while 26 percent supported it; 60 percent to 27 percent said the deal would make the world less safe.
In the aforementioned three states, President Obama also faces negative approval ratings, ahead of his push for Congress to approve the deal. Congress must vote to approve or reject the comprehensive agreement — one of Obama’s crown foreign policy achievements — no later than Sept. 17.
The telephone-based polls of 1,093 voters in Florida, 1,096 voters in Ohio and 1,085 voters in Pennsylvania were conducted Aug. 7-18. The margins of error in all three states is plus or minus 3 percentage points.
