Poll: Majority of Voters Fear ‘Homegrown Jihadists,’ Most Oppose Accepting Syrian Refugees

Most voters oppose accepting Syrian refugees into the U.S., but they see homegrown terrorists as a greater threat, according to a new poll. A majority of voters believed the security vetting for Syrian refugees should be increased both with and without and explanation of how the government currently screens refugees — however fewer said it should be stricter with the description: 69 percent said the screening should be stricter without the description and 53 said it should be stricter with a description.

Poll: No Clear GOP Front Runner in Key Swing States

“With so many Republican candidates, there is no clear leader in these key swing states in the race for the 2016 presidential nomination,” says Peter A. Brown, assistant director of the Quinnipiac Poll. The poll focused on three states – Florida, Ohio and Pennsylvania – because “since 1960 no candidate has won the presidential race without taking at least two of these three states.”

When Pollsters Lie to Voters About the Iran Deal, They Support It

A series of polls makes the case that voters support President Barack Obama’s Iran deal, despite the objections of Republicans in Congress. The latest is the Quinnipiac swing state poll, which finds that voters in Colorado, Iowa and Virginia support a deal with Iran by a 3-to-1 margin. They also support letting Congress decide by a 3-to-1 margin, so the case against the administration’s position is solid. But the poll’s support for the deal is entirely dependent on bad wording that covers up what is actually going on.
