As is often the case, the recently announced deal with Iran is viewed with far different levels of trust and enthusiasm by those inside political circles than everyday voters. How differently?

For starters, over half (51%) of voters who talk politics nearly every day or more say that the recently announced deal is Very Likely to end the war in the near future. Just 13% of voters across the nation hold that opinion.

When asked about the likely terms of the deal, those in the political bubble are also far more optimistic: 50% say the deal is likely to be Very Good for the United States and and 60% say it is Very Likely Iran will have to give up their enriched uranium to ensure a deal. Both of those numbers are more than double the national average. Just over half (51%) say the deal will be Very Good for the economy, compared to 31% nationally.

Overall, 47% of voters say the war is at least Somewhat Likely to end soon, while 41% say it is not.

A narrow majority (53%) say it is at least Somewhat Likely Iran will have to give up its enriched uranium in the new deal, though just 25% think they would honor those terms if allowed to keep a nuclear program.

Nearly 6 in 10 (58%) say the deal will be at least Somewhat Good for the U.S. and 67% say it will be at least Somewhat Good for the economy.

On all of these points, party divides are clear. And, while the Trump base expresses strong confidence, Traditional GOP voters offer softer support.
