Even as President Donald Trump and Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu continue a coordinated attempt to sabotage the 2015 international agreement with Iran, a new poll shows Americans have a record level of support for the nuclear pact.

“Despite Trump, Netanyahu, and Bolton’s lies, the American public remains firm in their support of the #IranDeal.”
—Trita Parsi, National Iranian American CouncilThe Morning Consult/Politico survey (pdf) finds that 56 percent of registered voters back the agreement—the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA)—matching a record high reached April 2017. Twenty-two percent said they strongly support they deal, and 34 percent said that they somewhat support it.

Just 26 percent said they oppose the deal. That’s the lowest level of opposition since 2015, when Morning Consult/Politico began polling on the question. With net public support at a record 30 percentage points, that too marks a record high.

More Democrats than Republicans back the deal. Sixty eight percent of Democrats support the deal and just 14 percent oppose it. Republicans views were more evenly divided; just 46 percent of Republicans back the deal, while just 42 percent oppose it.

Trita Parsi, president of the National Iranian American Council (NIAC), noted the “firm support” Americans have for the deal “despite Trump, Netanyahu, and [National Security Adviser John] Bolton’s lies.”
