Al-Monitor- If Donald Trump preserves the Iran nuclear deal, that will surprise many Iranians.
Thats one finding of a new poll by the Center for International and Security Studies at Maryland (CISSM) & IranPoll.com, which have repeatedly surveyed Iranian public opinion in recent years.
Of 1,000 Iranians polled from Dec. 10-24 last year, a month after Trumps election, 77.5%were not confident that the United States would live up to its obligations under the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA). Only 19%said they believed the United States under Trump would continue to comply with the JCPOA.
The figures are a sharp change from the 45%confident and 41%not confident in a poll conducted by CISSM in September2015, shortly after the successful conclusion of the nuclear negotiations. The new poll has a margin of error of plus or minus 3.2%.
