Polling results released today by Public Policy Polling indicate that a significant number of American voters would favor the bombing of Agrabah, which, presumably, they don't know is the fictional country used as the setting for Disney's ALADDIN.

In a summary of the survey, where numerous questions on public policies were asked and broken down by likely voters for Republican and Democratic party candidates, the company states:

"41% of (Donald Trump) supporters would favor bombing Agrabah to only 9% who are opposed to doing that. Agrabah is the country from ALADDIN. Overall 30% of Republican primary voters say they support bombing it to 13% who are opposed. We asked the same question of Democrats, and 36% of them opposed bombing Agrabah to 19% in support."

Businessman Dean Debnam founded Public Policy Polling in 2001 to address inefficiencies in public policy surveys. The company employs Interactive Voice Response (IVR) technology to poll on a wide range of issues.
