62% of likely voters support Trump's peace deal with Iran: Big Data Poll

A new poll has revealed that the majority of voters in the United States support the peace deal to end the Iran war that was reached earlier in the month under the leadership of President Donald Trump.

Among likely voters, the Big Data Poll found that 62 percent support the Memorandum of Understanding signed between the two nations. Among Trump voters, that support was 77 percent, while 50 percent of Kamala Harris voters supported the deal. 

The poll also found a boost to Trump’s approval ratings in the wake of the deal. In total, 44.4 percent of likely voters said they somewhat or strongly approve of the job Trump’s doing as president. This is up from May, when 40.7 percent of likely voters said the same. 

Big Data Poll Director Rich Baris said, "The war was never popular and voters have been frustrated over what they perceive to be a lack of focus on domestic issues. But this is the first month since the start of the Iran War the picture was a little rosier for the President and Republicans. That said, these results and the transcripts of interviews conducted make it very clear that the fate of the Republican majorities in November is almost certainly tied to a lasting peace with Iran."

The poll was conducted between June 26 and 28 of 2,971 registered voters and 2,604 likely voters nationwide, and has a margin of error of 1.8 percent for registered voters and 1.7 percent for likely voters. 

The Memorandum of Understanding was signed earlier in June between the two countries, which includes 14 points outlining steps toward reopening the Strait of Hormuz, easing certain financial restrictions on Iran, and establishing a framework for future technical negotiations on Iran’s nuclear program.

Among the points agreed to is that military operations end on both sides, the US naval blockade ends in the Strait of Hormuz, and sanctions against Iran be rolled back. The MOU sets out a 60-day timeline for a final deal to be reached, including negotiations regarding Iran’s nuclear program.
