Only 21% of Americans Support Barack Obama's Iran Deal


HotAir.com:
Polling on Barack Obama’s deal with Iran has had one consistent quality: the more people see of the Iran deal, the less they like it. The latest Pew Research poll shows a new quality, which is the more people see of the deal, the less they know about it. Oddly, despite the deal being at the top of the news for the last two months, those who claim to have heard nothing at all about it has jumped from 21% in July to 30% in their latest poll. The news of the deal does not seem to be registering well among Americans despite the big political fight it has created on Capitol Hill.

Overall support continues to fall, regardless of the informed status of the respondents. In July, only 33% approved of the deal, but a third of those have backed away in the two months since:
In mid-July, a week after President Obama announced the deal, 33% of the public approved of the agreement, while 45% disapproved and 22% had no opinion. Over the past six weeks, the share approving of the agreement has fallen 12 percentage points (from 33% to 21%), while disapproval has held fairly steady (45% then, 49% now). Somewhat more express no opinion than did so in July (22% then, 30% now).
Support has fallen in all political demographics, even among Democrats. Two months ago, Democrats supported the deal, 50/27, but now only a plurality of Obama’s party supports it, 42/29. Republican opposition has jumped nine points, from 13/69 to 6/78, while independent support has dropped 11 points, 31/47 to 20/47. Most of the movement has gone from support to undecided, but some of it has moved into the No column — almost all of it Republicans, though.

Among other demos, the most dramatic drop in support has been among women — from 29% in July to just 16% now. Support has plunged among all educational demos, including college graduates, who once supported the deal 44/37. Now it’s 35/40 against. Those with some college went from 30/46 to 18/54, and high-school graduates from 27/50 to 14/51. It’s a cascade of collapse in support across the board.
People who support this deal must've forgotten that 9/11 even happened.
