It also indicates that 25 percent support the Obama administration's proposed deal that seeks to prevent Iran from developing nuclear weapons, while 61 percent oppose it. The deal, in part, includes lifting economic sanctions against Iran.

The Connecticut-based Quinnipiac also polled voters in Ohio and Pennsylvania and received similar results on questions about Obama's favorability and the Iran deal.

In Florida, Quinnipiac polled 1,093 voters from Aug. 7 to last Tuesday, with a margin of error of 3 percentage points.
