April 22, 2010 - Senate Should Ratify Nuclear Disarmament Treaty, U.S. Voters Tell Quinnipiac University National Poll; Obama Not Strong Enough On Israel, Voters Say Word format American voters say 60 - 33 percent that the U.S. Senate should ratify the nuclear disarmament treaty President Barack Obama recently signed with Russia, according to a Quinnipiac University poll released today. Support for Senate action is 74 - 21 percent among Democrats and 63 - 32 percent among independent voters, while Republicans oppose the measure, 48 - 43 percent, the independent Quinnipiac (KWIN-uh-pe-ack) University survey finds. Voters agree 79 - 17 percent that the biggest threat to U.S. security is the possibility of a terrorist organization obtaining a nuclear weapon. American voters approve of most of President Obama's nuclear policy: 54 - 42 percent in favor of reducing the number of U.S. nuclear weapons; 49 - 47 percent favor the U.S. stopping development or testing new nuclear weapons; 57 - 36 percent support banning use of nuclear weapons against non-nuclear nations; 58 - 36 percent disapprove of a ban on U.S. use of nuclear weapons against non-nuclear nations even if they launch a biological or chemical weapons attack on the U.S.; 49 - 44 percent disapprove of Obama announcing the U.S. won't use nuclear weapons in certain situations. Voters support 70 - 28 percent the U.S. and Russia working to eliminate all nuclear weapons in the world, but they say 87 - 11 percent that such a goal is not realistic. And voters say 25 - 18 percent that Obama's nuclear policy increases, rather than decreases, the chance of nuclear war, while 47 percent say the nuclear policy doesn't make a difference. "American voters like the dream of a world without nuclear weapons, but they believe it is just that - a dream," said Peter A. Brown, assistant director of the Quinnipiac University Polling Institute. "They agree with many elements of President Barack Obama's nuclear policy and they want the Senate to ratify the latest arms reduction treaty with Russia. "But very few voters believe any of this makes the world any safer," Brown added. American voters approve 48 - 42 percent of the way Obama is handling foreign policy and approve 49 - 39 percent of the way he is handling the situation in Afghanistan. The U.S. is doing the right thing fighting in Afghanistan, voters say 56 - 36 percent, and eliminating the threat of terrorists operating from Afghanistan is a worthwhile goal for American troops to fight and possibly die for, voters say 61 - 31 percent. The one negative area in voter appraisal of Obama's foreign policy is that voters disapprove 44 - 35 percent of the way the President is handling the situation between Israel and the Palestinians. Jewish voters, generally supportive of Obama on other issues, turn 67 - 28 percent thumbs down on his handling of Israel and the Palestinians. American voters say 57 - 13 percent that their sympathies lie with Israel and say 66 - 19 percent that the President of the United States should be a strong supporter of Israel. But voters say 42 - 34 percent that Obama is not a strong supporter of Israel. Only 16 percent of Republicans and 33 percent of independents think the President is a strong supporter of Israel, while 53 percent of Democrats do. The wealthier and older the voter, the more likely they are to question Obama's support for Israel. And the racial gap is yawning: 31 percent of white voters, but 54 percent of black voters see him as a strong supporter of Israel. "While 50 percent of Jews see Obama as a strong supporter of Israel, only 23 percent of Protestants and 35 percent of Roman Catholics see it that way," Brown said. "One explanation may just be that the President's low overall approval among Protestants and Catholics contributes to this disparity." From April 14 - 19, Quinnipiac University surveyed 1,930 registered voters nationwide with a margin of error of +/- 2.2 percentage points. The Quinnipiac University Poll, directed by Douglas Schwartz, Ph.D., conducts public opinion surveys in Pennsylvania, New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Florida, Ohio and the nation as a public service and for research.
