Americans back a newly brokered nuclear deal with Iran by a 2-to-1 margin and are very wary of the United States resorting to military action against Tehran even if the historic diplomatic effort falls through, a Reuters/Ipsos poll showed on Tuesday.
The findings were rare good news in the polls for President Barack Obama, whose approval ratings have dropped in recent weeks because of the botched rollout of his signature healthcare reform law.
According to the Reuters/Ipsos survey, 44 percent of Americans support the interim deal reached between Iran and six world powers in Geneva last weekend, and 22 percent oppose it.
While indicating little trust among Americans toward Iranian intentions, the survey also underscored a strong desire to avoid new U.S. military entanglements after long, costly wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Most Britans backed Chamberlain’s deal with Hitler.
They didn’t ask me.
I guess saying 2-1 is better than saying 44% support...
Well, it’s been a long time since we’ve had a major war. Since war was declared on 9/11, we’ve been twiddling our thumbs. What will people say when NYC lies in ruins?
I have a really bad feeling about this. Making a bomb is not hard if you have the fuel. I don’t know if Dr. Kahn helped Iran but isn’t Russia helping them?
There is no deal, by recent Iranian words and actions.
Most Americans don’t even know what the hell the deal with Iran is.
44% support - less than half, and this is promoted as support for Obama. Media is working overtime to prop this guy up.
Most Americans couldn’t find Iran on a map.
They’ll have to nuke us to find out what’s in it.
Just a reflection of the “be nice, share your toys” mindset that so many operate on.
Most Americans can’t even spell ‘Iran’...
John Bolton was just on Fox and said this document was poorly written and Iran will be running circles around the West ,LOL , what else would you get from the Obama Admin
I’m with Benny Netanyahu on this disgraceful deal made by the worthless Kenyan hunkered down in the White Hut in order to take the heat off his many administration scandals.
You’re bound to screw up, of course, if you yourself are screwed up as bad as this imposter who surrounds himself with not one appointment that has all the necessary mental capapcity to wipe their asses! A large percentage of them are perverted to the core.
We don’t need ‘boots on the ground’ (I hate that term used by the idiots who rule our lives....they need a boot up their arses!) rather we need to use a little nuclear diplomacy.
If only Reagan’s excellent plan of SDI had been fully implemented we could rain hellfire down on these ragheaded camel humpers and just sit back and watched the fireworks.
If we are really now that stupid then the world has REAL problems.
Good Luck, World. You’re on your own!
And which _Americans_ are in this 44%; would it be those shipped in from Mexico, ME, Asia and everywhere else, _except_ Europe?
It’s not a racial issue, it is in the end a religious issue, strange gods thou shall not keep. Furthermore, YHWH created languages, nations and borders. They shall remain in force until He allows otherwise.
Maybe we should do away with the red button and replace it with a mechanism wired to a political polling system. Between casting votes for their favorite American Idol, Americans can vote on whether to nuke Iran; that is, since popularity of public opinion is the overriding criteria for international diplomacy and safety.
I would bet my last dollar that 50% of those surveyed that said they approved the deal couldn’t find Iran on a map..
