"a clear majority of 61% recommended making a deal with Iran that would include a limited enrichment capacity for Iran. This included 61% of Republicans, 66% of Democrats and 54% of independents." University of Maryland Poll taken February 2015.

I think it's more rooted in the fact that the only thing that binds the religious right, libertarian, Wall Street and NeoCon wings of the GOP right now is just how much that hate, hate, hate Obama. Unfortunately, none of these guys are going to pay a political price for it, because Obama is just not that popular.
I might also point out, most Americans aren't too keen on any agreement with Iran.
Fox News Poll 65 percent say use force to stop Iran 84 percent call possible deal bad idea Fox News
Overall, two-thirds of voters (65 percent) favor the U.S. using military action, if necessary, to stop Iran from getting nuclear weapons. Just 28 percent are opposed.
Voters overwhelmingly reject that deal: 84 percent -- including 80 percent of Democrats -- think it’s a bad idea to allow Iran to get nuclear weapons 10 years from now in return for agreeing it won’t obtain nukes before then.
Americans will never agree that Iran should be allowed to get a nuclear bomb. The anti war left will never change the polling results whenever "Nuke Bomb and Iran" are mentioned.
That is why the Fox New poll put forth a LIE in the poll question: they are masters at propaganda at Fox - the best in the world right now.
Obama has said he won't make deal that ever allows Iran to produce a nuclear weapon. Not in ten years. Not in fifteen years not ever.
This question is a Fox And Netanyahu lie: is it "a bad idea to allow Iran to get nuclear weapons 10 years from now in return for agreeing it won’t obtain nukes before then." The deal does not allow Iran to get nuclear weapons in ten years in return for agreeing it won't get nukes before then.
It's a lie because the 'breakout time' if Iran were to abandon the deal is one year. Obama has said that 'one year' will be plenty of time to take military action to stop Iran from getting a nuclear weapon. An the longer Iran abides by this deal the more intelligence will be in Western nations file on exactly where the bombs must strike to stop Iran from getting a bomb.
There is no deal in ten years or ever that allows a delivery capability that could hit Israel.
The University of Maryland asked the question last February in a correct way and Americans responded 60% in favor of negotiating this deal.

Americans back Iran deal by 2-to-1 margin: Reuters/Ipsos poll. BY
MATT SPETALNICK. WASHINGTON Tue Nov 26, 2013 8:49pm EST
AP-GfK Poll. Jan. 17-21, 2014. Do you approve, disapprove, or neither approve nor disapprove of the interim agreement reached between Iran and six world powers that is designed to curb Iran’s nuclear program?
Total approve: 60 percent.
Total disapprove: 36 percent
It's been very consistent since the negotiations began in 2013:
The Left needs to counter Fox's lies by showcasing this Maryland poll and all the others. Over and over again. And over again some more.
The left needs to quit complaining about how Americans want to bomb Iran. Iran deserves to be bombed on their "peaceful" nuclear facilities if they sign this treaty for peaceful nuclear purposes only and then try to break out to build a weapon and a means to deliver it. Obama says the US will bomb them to stop then.
If the left bought a poll that asked "do you agree with President Obama that Iran must be bombed if they try to expand their existing peaceful nuclear power program into one to be used for making a nuclear weapon" the vast majority of Americans would answer yes and find out the President agrees with them.
The RW warmongers surely won't ask that question that way. So the left loses to Fox lies over and over again.
