Opposition to a proposed peace agreement with Iran, spearheaded by President Donald Trump, increases when voters are made aware of the pact's specific economic and diplomatic terms, an exclusive survey by the Daily Mail/JL Partners has revealed. The poll indicates that support for the deal declines as more details, particularly regarding financial aid and the unfreezing of Iranian assets, become public.
As currently outlined, the agreement includes an immediate ceasefire on all fronts, a 60-day period to negotiate Iran's nuclear program, and the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz. Crucially, the terms also detail the unfreezing of Iranian assets and a $300 billion economic development package for Iran, along with the removal of pre-existing sanctions.
Overall, 35 percent of the 1,059 registered voters surveyed support the deal, while 26 percent oppose it, and 26 percent remain neutral. However, these figures shift when voters are presented with the specific conditions.
Political affiliation shows stark divisions. Fifty-one percent of Republicans support the pact, with only 17 percent opposing it. In contrast, Democrats exhibit more skepticism, with 24 percent supporting the agreement and 34 percent opposing it. Independent and other voters lean toward mild support, with 30 percent in favor and 27 percent against.
Age demographics also present a fractured view. Voters aged 65 and older are heavily opposed, with 43 percent against the deal and 26 percent in support. Younger voters, aged 18 to 29, are more receptive, with 46 percent supporting the terms and only 12 percent opposing them.
Gender also played a role, with 39 percent of men supporting the deal and 27 percent against it. Among women, 30 percent supported the deal while 26 percent did not favor it.
The poll carries a margin of error of three percent. Despite some support for the memorandum of understanding, voters remain skeptical about the long-term viability of any final agreement. Potential future diplomatic talks could be complicated by incidents such as Iran breaching a ceasefire, which has previously prompted U.S. retaliatory strikes.
President Trump has previously warned of resuming military action if Tehran violates any agreement. The current framework of the pact reportedly excludes Hezbollah, the Iranian-backed militant group.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has stated that the framework allows Lebanese forces to reclaim territory previously seized by Israel. U.S., Iranian, and Qatari officials are currently meeting in Doha to discuss the memorandum of understanding and the release of frozen Iranian funds. Trump commented on the ongoing diplomatic efforts, stating, "We're winning militarily. It's almost won militarily, I would say."
