Poll: Americans Are Always Wrong About the Most Important Things

by | Oct 28, 2019

The Hill:

A large majority of voters — 84 percent — are concerned about the prospect of Iran obtaining nuclear weapons, according to a Hill-HarrisX poll released on Monday. 

That’s more than those who expressed concern over other foreign policy issues, including North Korea’s use of ballistic missiles, U.S. election security, Turkey’s military action in Syria and President Trump’s ongoing trade war with China.

Voters across party lines expressed concern over Iran’s nuclear capabilities. 

Of those polled, 89 percent of Democratic voters said they were either very or somewhat concerned about the Middle East country developing weapons of mass destruction, compared to 85 percent of Republican and 79 percent of independents who said the same.

Hey Scott Horton, why do you even bother? I don’t know dude.
