FOX News Poll: U.S. Should Take Tougher Line With Iran

NEW YORK — Most Americans believe Iran’s nuclear program is for military purposes, and more voters would rather see the United States take a tougher line with Iran than a softer diplomatic path. In addition, three times as many people think the real reason the president of Iran wanted to visit ground zero was to honor the terrorists responsible for the attacks on the World Trade Center than to honor the victims killed there. These are just some of the findings from the latest FOX News poll.
Opinion Dynamics Corp. conducted the national telephone poll of 900 registered voters for FOX News from Sept. 25 to Sept. 26. The poll has a 3-point error margin.
Fully 80 percent of Americans say they believe Iran’s nuclear program is intended for military purposes, not for peaceful energy purposes as the country claims. Furthermore, by a 50 percent to 31 percent margin, voters say the United States should take a tougher line with Iran, including military action if necessary, rather than a softer line, including more diplomacy.
