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.
