A new Quinnipiac poll found that American voters oppose President Obama's Iranian nuclear deal by a ratio of two to one, more evidence of the "widespread skepticism" on the deal found in other recent surveys.  Such results will certainly add fuel to the fire among those opposing the deal in Congress. 

The newly released poll found that a strong majority of voters believe the Iran deal "will make the world less safe." Quinnipiac provides a summary of its findings: 

American voters oppose 57 - 28 percent, with only lukewarm support from Democrats and overwhelming opposition for Republicans and independent voters, the nuclear pact negotiated with Iran, according to a Quinnipiac University national poll released today. 

Voters say 58 - 30 percent the nuclear pact will make the world less safe, the independent Quinnipiac (KWIN-uh-pe-ack) University Poll finds. 

Opposing the Iran deal are Republicans 86 - 3 percent and independent voters 55 - 29 percent, while Democrats support it 52 - 32 percent. There is little gender gap as men oppose the deal 59 - 30 percent and women oppose it 56 - 27 percent.

The survey also found that President Obama is in the red in public opinion, with 52% disapproving of his job while 43% approve (his disapproval rating ticked up 2 points since June 1; his disapproval holding steady). The voting public is also unimpressed with the direction he's taking the country economically (53% disapprove, 44% approve), and an overwhelming majority were dissatisfied withe the overall direction of the country, 73% disapproving,  27% approving, the worst such result in about a year. 

The survey asked Americans about several other hot topics, including gay marriage, religious freedom, and global warming. The results are likely welcome for those on the left. 

One same-sex marriage and religious freedom:

American voters support 53 - 40 percent allowing same-sex couples to marry and support 53 - 44 percent the U.S. Supreme Court decision legalizing same-sex marriage in all 50 states. 

Voters oppose 56 - 39 percent a constitutional amendment allowing states to ban same sex marriage. 

Businesses should not be allowed to refuse service to gays and lesbians, U.S. voters say 65 - 30 percent. Even when a business owner cites religious beliefs, he/she should not be allowed to refuse service, voters say 52 - 42 percent.

On climate change: 

American voters agree 65 - 27 percent with Pope Francis' call for action to address climate change. Support is 84 - 9 percent among Democrats and 67 - 27 percent among independent voters. Republicans disagree with the Pope 48 - 40 percent. Men agree with the Pope 62 - 32 percent and women agree 68 - 22 percent. 

Climate change is not a moral issue, voters say 49 - 44 percent, but it is caused by human activity voters say 68 - 27 percent. Again, there are partisan divides as Republicans say 77 - 18 percent that climate change is not a moral issue. Republicans are divided 46 - 46 percent on whether climate change is caused by human activity.
