Most Florida voters oppose Iran deal, new Quinnipiac poll shows

According to the poll, voters in Ohio oppose the deal by 58-24 percent, and say by 56-26 percent that the deal would make the world less safe rather than safer.

A majority of voters in each of the states said the deal brokered by the Obama administration to limit Iran’s nuclear program in exchange for sanctions relief would make the world less safe.

Voters in Ohio and two other swing states agree on one thing about the coming presidential election: They don’t want President Barack Obama to have another term in office.

Ohio voters oppose the deal with Iran.

Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) on Sunday became the latest Democrat to endorse President Obama’s top foreign policy initiative, further boosting the deal on Capitol Hill.

The Quinnipiac Poll, which surveyed voters on a variety of hot-button issues, found Floridians are evenly divided on efforts to cut off federal funding for Planned Parenthood, an issue that’s gained attention in the wake of undercover videos that shed unflattering light on how some of its affiliates handle fetal tissue after abortions. In sharp contrast, 49 percent of male voters support eliminating federal funding for the organization, while 41 percent are opposed.

The president’s proposed federal rules to reduce pollution from coal-burning plants – not a big issue in Florida – won support of 69-25 percent in the poll.

In Pennsylvania, voters support the federal requirements that owners of coal-burning power plants reduce pollution by 67-28 percent.

But again, the partisan breakdown is sharp: 87 percent of Democrats support the White House efforts while only 41 percent of Republicans do. Democrats are opposed, 80 percent to 9 percent.

And so it goes with the Islamic State and sending American ground troops to fight it: 51 percent of Ohio voters say they would approve of it, while 42 percent would oppose it and the rest are unsure. The survey has a margin of error of plus or minus 3 percentage points.
