Some 43 percent of Americans disapprove of the interim deal on Iran’s nuclear program while 32 percent approve, according to a new poll by the Pew Research Center and USA Today. The remaining quarter of respondents did not offer an opinion. Half of the Democrats polled approve of the agreement compared to only 14 percent of Republicans.
The survey found that 72 percent of Americans had heard either a lot or a little about the deal brokered in Geneva on November 23. Among those who heard a lot about it, 44 percent approve and 51 percent disapprove. Among those who heard a little, 36 percent approve and 45 percent disapprove.
The agreement has not reduced broad skepticism towards the intentions of Iran’s leaders. Washington and Tehran have not relations for 34 years. Nearly two-thirds of Americans say Iranian leaders are “not serious” about addressing the international community’s concerns about their nuclear program.
