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.





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.





"There's not a lot of love for the proposed nuclear deal with Iran. Only a bare majority of Democrats support the pact," said Tim Malloy, assistant director of the Quinnipiac University Poll.





"Pope Francis is doing much better with his call for action on climate change. Voters say the Pope got it right: Climate change is a problem. And it's our fault. But does humanity's damage to mother earth have its roots in moral failure? On that claim by the Pope, it's a nope."





Illegal immigrants should be allowed to stay in the U.S. and apply for citizenship, 55 percent of American voters say. Another 9 percent say immigrants should be allowed to stay, but not seek citizenship, and 32 percent say immigrants should be required to leave the U.S.
