More Fearful of Iranian Nuclear Attack, Voters Expect Trump Sanctions to Work

Voters are more worried about a nuclear attack from Iran, but most think President Trump’s stepped-up sanctions against the Iranians will force them to back off their nuclear program.

The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone and online survey finds that 52% of Likely U.S. Voters think the increased U.S. economic sanctions will force Iran back to the bargaining table to renegotiate the deal to curb their nuclear program. Forty-three percent (43%) say that’s unlikely. This includes 22% who think the new sanctions are Very Likely to prompt renegotiation and 15% who say they’re Not At All Likely to do so. (To see survey question wording, click here.)
