The results of a new survey in the United States / support for returning to the JCPOA and a significant increase in supporters of accepting a nuclear Iran
According to IRNA, the website of the American think tank “Chicago World Affairs Council” announced yesterday (September 18) by publishing the results of a survey that most Americans support their country’s return to the nuclear agreement.
59% of respondents to the survey of this independent non-partisan organization agree with the return of the United States to the JCPOA, among which 41% of Republicans, 73% of Democrats and 61% of independents approve of such an issue.
On the other hand, 36% of the total respondents agreed with the continuation of the current situation, i.e. the withdrawal of the United States from the JCPOA and the continuation of economic sanctions, even if it leads to the construction of nuclear weapons by Iran in a few months. The details of the answer to this question show that the majority of 53% of Republicans, along with 24% of Democrats and 36% of independents, agree with this option.
The reaction of the Americans in case of Iran’s determination to build nuclear weapons is also seen in the findings of this survey.
79% of all respondents from the tightening of sanctions, 66% from returning to the JCPOA, 64% from a cyber attack against Iran’s computer systems, 46% from an air attack on Iran’s nuclear sites, 38% from sending troops to destroy Iran’s nuclear sites. And 23% supported Iran’s acquisition of nuclear weapons.
Another question of this survey asks the acceptance rate of Iran having nuclear weapons along with countries like Russia and China from the American society.
Currently, 50% of the candidates of this survey partially (40%) or strongly (10%) agree with this statement, which has increased by about 6% compared to the results of the same survey in 2020.
Even among Republicans, the increase in acceptance of the militarization of Iran’s nuclear program is tangible and has grown from 36% in 2020 to 42%.
The spectrum of independents shows the greatest growth in accepting the militarization of Iran’s nuclear program, which has increased from 44% in 2020 to 54%.
This survey was conducted from July 15 to August 1, 2022 (July 24 to August 10) and among 3,16 volunteers from 50 American states, and its margin of error is 1.8 percent.
