CNN/ORC Poll Show Majority Americans Want Iran Deal Rejected by Congress

“The good news for President Obama is his approval rating is still tipped just in his favor, 49 percent to 47. It’s been growing over time. Steady in the last few months. It’s better than George W. Bush was doing at this point in his presidency, worse than Clinton and the same as Reagan. Now, where things turn weird is on the economy. Forty-one percent say that it's doing good. But 59 say it's in a poor state. That’s a big drop from April when 52 percent of people said that it was good. And the biggest drop we have seen is among Democrats, down 18 points since April. That was only three months ago. Eighteen points. Still, more people say that they are doing better than they were three years ago than say they are doing worse. Also on the Iran deal, when people were asked, ‘Should Congress approve it’, 44 percent said yes, 52 said no. That's interesting because that's almost a complete reversal from April. That was before there was a deal. But people were asked, should the U.S. make such a deal with Iran. Back then, 53 percent said yes, 43 percent said no. So now that there is a deal and it's out there, about as many people as said ‘yes’ before now say no, no, no.”
