The issue is a hot topic as Egypt struggles in the aftermath of the revolution that toppled Hosni Mubarak’s government.  More than dozen American democracy and human rights activists face charges in Egypt and are being forbidden from leaving the country.  Another complication: The Muslim Brotherhood, an Islamist movement, may be poised to gain power in Egypt.

In our national scientific telephone poll, we put this question to Americans: “Do you believe that the U.S. should maintain, reduce, or halt providing Egypt with more than $1 billion a year in U.S. financial aid?”

In response, 14% said maintain the aid the $1 billion+ a year in aid, 44% said reduce the aid, and 33% said halt the aid altogether.

Along partisan lines, independents (43%) and Republicans (40%) most favored ending U.S. aid to Egypt.

A majority of Americans, 60% said the agreement is not fair, 17% said it is fair, 23% did not know enough about the agreement or did not offer an opinion.

The 25 billion dollar agreement between the government and Bank of America, Wells Fargo, J.P. Morgan Chase, Citigroup and Ally Financial ends state and federal action into questionable foreclosure practices by the banks.  It allows some homeowners to stay in their houses, staving off foreclosure. It does little or nothing for homeowners who have paid their mortgages on time during the housing and mortgage crisis over the past few years. While state and federal action is settled, individuals can still seek claims against lenders.

The deal is somewhat split along political lines. Among Republicans 70% said it is not a fair deal, 13% said it is, 16% had no opinion. Democrats countered with 25% saying it is a fair deal, 42% said it is not, 32% offered no opinion. Independents were strongly against the agreement with 67% saying it is not a fair deal, 12% said it is, 21% did not have an opinion.
