Americans Understand That Iran is a Threat
Rory Cooper /
A new poll released this week by McLaughlin and Associates shows that Americans understand better than Congress that Iran is a serious a threat to our national security and is a dangerous actor amongst its neighbors.
According to Joel Rosenberg’s Weblog, the poll found:
- Nine in ten voters (91%) say that Iran supplying a nuclear umbrella for terrorists is a serious threat to the United States.
- Seven in ten voters (71%) say the United States will not be safe with a nuclear Iran.
- Eight in ten voters (80%) say it is likely that Iran will launch a missile attack on Israel.
- Three in four voters (77%) say it is likely that Iran will use the threat of nuclear attack to provide a shield for Hezbollah and Hamas terrorists to attack Israel.
- The majority of voters approve of taking several specific actions to discourage the proliferation of nuclear weapons in Iran.
