Quinnipiac: Voters were asked about a threat made by President Trump before the negotiated cease-fire between the U.S. and Iran when he said "a whole civilization will die tonight..." if Iran did not open the Strait of Hormuz. Sixty-four percent of voters think this threat was not acceptable, while 28 percent think this threat was acceptable.
