THE HILL: Just 1 in 3 approves of Obama’s handling of Iran.
Just one in three Americans supports President Obama’s handling of the situation in Iran, lower approval than several other issues measured in a Gallup poll released Thursday.
While 33 percent surveyed in the poll approve Obama’s handling of the Iranian situation, 55 percent disapprove — the same percentage that disapprove of his handling of terrorism and foreign affairs. . . .
Obama’s overall approval rating in the poll is below 50 percent, and his handling of Iran is rated below his efforts on issues such as immigration, the economy, climate change and education.
The numbers come as Obama hopes to secure lawmaker support for an international nuclear accord with Iran, which has been met with deep skepticism in Congress and the general public.
As it should be.
