THE PEOPLE SPEAK – AT 9:32 A.M. ET:  But in Washington, not too many care.  Who are those peasants out there to have opinions?  Rasmussen reports that, just as the Iran agreement becomes a done deal in Washington, the American people have turned dead set against it:

Despite the opposition of most members of Congress, the Obama administration appears to have maneuvered its nuclear weapons deal with Iran into reality. But most voters still don’t trust Iran to play ball.

The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that 62% of Likely U.S. Voters think Iran is unlikely to uphold its end of the deal that ends some economic sanctions on that country in exchange for cutbacks in the Iranian nuclear weapons program. This includes 39% who say it’s Not At All Likely. Thirty-five percent (35%) believe Iran is likely to honor the deal, but only eight percent (8%) consider it Very Likely.

This is even more skepticism than voters expressed in April as details of the plan began to emerge.

Just 23% believe the treaty the administration has negotiated with Iran will make the Middle East safer. Forty percent (40%) say the agreement will put the region more at risk, while 27% think it will have no impact on the safety and security of the Middle East. These attitudes are basically unchanged from two months ago.

Most voters still think Congress needs to approve any deal with Iran before it goes into effect, but only 32% want their congressional representatives to approve the plan the administration has negotiated.

COMMENT:  Only 32% approve.  But the plan is a done deal because of pressure by the Obama administration and its amen corner in the U.S. Senate.
