The majority of Americans support the Iran deal, despite widespread doubts that it will prevent the Islamic Republic from developing nuclear weapons, according to a new Washington Post-ABC News poll.
More than 50% of Americans support the nuclear agreement with Iran, even as 42% of them do not believe it will work, the poll finds.
Fifty-six percent of those polled support the deal, according to the survey, while 37% oppose the deal and 7% have no opinion.
However, 42% of people say the deal will not work “at all,” while 22% say the agreement has a “not so” chance of preventing Tehran from acquiring nuclear weapons. 29% say “somewhat” and only 6% believe the deal will be “very” effective in preventing Iran from getting nukes. And 1% of those polled have “no opinion.”

Help us report truthfully on social media
As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
If you believe in the importance of factual social media journalism, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to sustain responsible multimedia reporting.
