Aladdin, start panicking—angry Americans are coming for you...

Results from a Public Policy Polling poll, released on Friday, showed 30 percent of Republican respondents and 19 percent of Democratic respondents support bombing Agrabah. Yes, that Agrabah, home of Aladdin, specifically the Aladdin in Disney's 1992 movie AladdinScott Weinger, who provided the speaking voice of the hero in the hit film, has weighed in on the results.

"As the future sultan, I find this deeply upsetting. #Aladdin #Agrabah," the 40-year-old actor, also known for playing Steve on Full House and Fuller House, said on Twitter

Agrabah, an Arabian city ("of mystery, of enchantment, and the finest merchandise this side of the river Jordan, on sale today, come on down!") does not exist in the real world and this fact was not mentioned in the poll. The actual question that was featured in it was, "Would you support or oppose bombing Agrabah?"

The poll also showed 13 percent of Republican respondents opposed bombing the city and 57 percent marked "not sure." Among Democrats, 36 percent opposed and 45 percent weren't sure.

The poll surveyed 532 Republican primary voters and 532 Democratic primary voters and was carried out about a week after Republican presidential candidate and frontrunner Donald Trump sparked controversy calling for a ban on Muslims entering the United States "until our country's representatives can figure out what is going on." He had made his comments days after a man and his wife, both Muslim, killed 14 people at a company holiday party in San Bernardino, California.

According to Friday's poll, most Republican respondents still favored Trump as their candidate, with the politician securing 34 percent of their survey votes.
