President Donald Trump is pointing to new polling that shows majority support for his administration’s preliminary agreement with Iran, though other surveys suggest Americans remain divided over the deal’s long-term impact.
Trump highlighted the findings in a Truth Social post after sharing results from a Quantus Insights survey measuring public reaction to the agreement.
According to the Quantus Insights poll, 56% of likely voters said they approve of the agreement between the United States and Iran.
The survey found that 43% strongly approve and 13% somewhat approve.
“Very popular agreement, except for the Fake News and their partner, the Dumocrats!” Trump wrote
Another 13% said they disapprove of the agreement. Sixteen percent said they neither approve nor disapprove.
The survey was conducted among 1,000 likely voters on June 16 and June 17.
The agreement calls for an end to hostilities between Washington and Tehran, the reopening of shipping through the Strait of Hormuz and a 60-day negotiation period focused on Iran’s nuclear program and sanctions.
Fifteen percent said they were unsure
While Trump has highlighted the Quantus poll as evidence of public support, other surveys paint a more complicated picture.
According to that poll, 52% of U.S. adults said the country would either be worse off or no better off if the agreement is ultimately finalized.
The findings suggest that many voters remain uncertain about whether the deal represents a significant strategic victory for Washington.
A recent YouGov survey found that many Americans remain unconvinced the agreement will benefit the United States
Reaction on Capitol Hill has reflected similar uncertainty.
Sen. John Kennedy initially expressed skepticism about the prospects of a lasting agreement before softening his position after reviewing the memorandum of understanding.
Even the hawkish Republican South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham has praised the deal.
The YouGov poll also found that some respondents believe Iran could benefit from the agreement or emerge largely unaffected by its terms
“Completely agree with President Trump’s analysis that Iran’s capability to generate another October 7 or continue to be the largest state sponsor of terrorism on the planet has been massively degraded,” the senator said.
Mr. President, continue to try to find a diplomatic solution to Iran’s nuclear ambitions and other issues that have plagued the world since 1979. The day diplomacy is off the table will present America and our allies with some very stark choices. In the meantime, as we pursue diplomacy, make it crystal clear that Israel will not have to tolerate being attacked by Iranian proxies who cause parts of Israel to be uninhabitable. Pray for peace,” he said.
Another survey released by AP-NORC found broader concerns about the administration’s handling of Iran.
“I think we ought to give peace a chance,” Kennedy said on the Senate floor Thursday
The poll showed many Americans remain uneasy about recent military actions and are uncertain whether the administration’s overall approach has been successful.
Independent voters appear especially divided.
According to the YouGov survey, fewer than one-quarter of independents said the United States would be better off under the agreement.
“To those who say Iran is stronger now than before, that is an insult to the American military and it is delusional thinking because the Iranian economy is in shambles
Economic factors could ultimately play a major role in shaping public opinion.

Supporters of the agreement argue that lower gasoline prices and greater regional stability could strengthen public support over time.
Critics, however, remain concerned about enforcement mechanisms and Iran’s willingness to comply with future commitments.
