Re: National Survey Results – Iran Sanctions
Summary: In our just completed national survey of 1,000 likely voters, the majority of voters, 63% support the
peaceful demonstrations and re-imposing economic sanctions, only 15% disapproved, when asked the following
question:
Approval to re-impose sanctions receives majority support in every region of the country. Those who are
undecided in their vote for Congress, support sanctions 45% to 20%. Trump voters support sanctions 73% to 12%;
Clinton voters support 56% to 18%. Among those who currently approve the job President is doing, it's identical
that they support sanctions 73% to 12%, and among those who currently disapprove of the job the President is
doing, they support re-imposing sanctions 56%-18%.
Republicans support re-imposing sanctions 71%-12%; independents support 63%-14% and Democrats
support as well 57%-20%. Both ideological wings of the electorate are more likely to support sanctions than
moderates: liberals 64%-16%, moderates 55%-18%, and conservatives 71%-13%. Older voters over 55 years are
more likely to support sanctions 72%-11% and under 55 years 56%-19%. Men support sanctions 71%-14% and
women support re-imposing sanctions 56%-17%.
It is very clear that under the current circumstances with Iran's support of terror and repression, re-imposing
sanctions has broad and strong support across all political and demographic segments among the voters. It is clearly
a way for the President to broaden his coalition of support for his security policies.
Methodology: This survey of 1,000 likely general election voters nationwide was conducted between January 5th
and 11th
, 2018. All interviews were conducted online; survey invitations were distributed randomly within
predetermined geographic units. These units were structured to correlate with actual voter turnout in a nationwide
general election. This poll of 1,000 likely general election voters has an accuracy of +/- 3.1% at a 95% confidence
interval. The error margin increases for cross-tabulations.
