Iran negotiations unpopular with voters

Fox News:

More voters than not think President Barack Obama is giving away too much in the nuclear talks with Iran -- and that it’s pointless to make a deal with Iran anyway.

So it’s unsurprising that approval of the president’s handling of Iran hits a record low in the latest Fox News poll.

By a 51-34 percent margin, voters think Obama is “being too soft” rather than “striking the right balance” in talks with Iran.

Democrats think Obama is striking the right balance by a 27-point margin. Republicans (by 69 points) and independents (by 17 points) say he is being too soft.

Almost no one thinks Obama is “being too tough” with Iran (two percent).

Voters don’t think the deal will work. Half say negotiating is the wrong thing to do because Iran can’t be trusted to honor any agreement (50 percent), while 40 percent think negotiating is the right thing to do because it’s the best way to prevent a nuclear Iran.

Just 32 percent of voters approve of the job Obama’s doing on Iran, while 57 percent disapprove. Last month (the previous low) was 33-58 percent.

This is not surprising.  There are some Democrats who support the effort but they are outnumbered by Republicans and independents who strongly oppose the deal and do not trust Iran.
