It's not surprising (given recent history) that few Americans believe our own intelligence agencies who claim with "high confidence" that Iran has halted its nuclear weapons program.
Just 18% of American voters believe that Iran has halted its nuclear weapons program. The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey found that 66% disagree and say Iran has not stopped its nuclear weapons program. Twenty-one percent (21%) of men believe Iran has stopped the weapons development along with 16% of women (see crosstabs).The survey was conducted following release of a government report saying that Iran halted its nuclear weapons development program in 2003.
The Rasmussen Reports survey also found that 67% of American voters believe that Iran remains a threat to the national security of the United States. Only 19% disagree while 14% are not sure.
It would be nice if the CIA got one right for once, though.
Heck, I'd be satisfied if our intelligence agencies managed to prevent infiltration by Hezbollah and leaks to the New York Times.
