According to a survey released by Fox News on Friday, over 60 percent of those polled said respondents believe that “Iran poses a real national security threat to the United States,” and the U.S. fight against Islamic extremists was going “very badly” or “somewhat badly”.
A majority of Americans also disapprove of U.S. President Barack Obama’s handling of the Iranian nuclear issue and 50% said negotiating with the Iranian regime was the “wrong thing” to do “because Iran can’t be trusted to honor any agreement so a deal won’t stop them from getting nukes”.
Fifty one percent of respondents said the U.S. government was “too soft” on the Iranian regime in negotiations to curb its nuclear program, while only 2 percent of voters saying he is “being too tough”.
Sixty-five percent believe that “Iran poses a real national security threat to the United States”, compared to only 29 percent that don’t.
On terrorism, 53% said they disapproved of the way the U.S. was handling the issue, 40% approved and 7% said they did not know.
The poll which had a margin of error of 3% was conducted among 1,012 respondents.
