U.S. Public Support for Iran Deal at All-Time High

Since the implementation of the Iran Deal, especially Conservative Americans have been in strong opposition to the lifting of sanctions against the Middle Eastern state. It has been one of Trump’s electoral pledges to either renegotiate or abandon the heavily criticized agreement between Iran, the members of the UN Security Council and Germany. As Iran rejected any renegotiations, the president soon favored to nix the agreement and reimpose sanctions. Yesterday Donald Trump announced to abolish the Iran agreement. Through the so-called snapback mechanism, a whole battery of sanctions will immediately came into effect again as soon as the U.S. president announced to resign from the contract.

As this graphic shows, Donald Trump does not have a lot of public support for his decision as this infographic shows. Since its implementation, citizens increasingly favored the agreement, reaching an all-time high before Donald Trump may abandon it.
