Poll: Most Americans Back Diplomacy on Iran

 

 

"Most Americans support a diplomatic approach when it comes to dealing with Iran; 55% think Iran is a threat to the U.S. that can be contained with diplomacy. Only 15% say Iran is a threat that requires military action now, and another 17% do not consider Iran a threat.  Americans across the political spectrum support diplomacy with Iran rather than military action, but Republicans are more than twice as likely as Democrats to say Iran is a threat that requires military action."
