A public opinion survey conducted in October by researchers at the University of Maryland provides insights into how the Iranian public is reacting to an economy battered by U.S. sanctions and ravaged by the COVID-19 pandemic
◢ Three new waves of nationally-representative surveys conducted by the University of Maryland paint a damning picture of the Trump administrations policy towards Iran. Negative perceptions of the United States among the Iranian public are at their highest level recorded in a decade of public opinion research.
◢ A new survey conducted by research firm IranPoll offers the first insights into Iranian public sentiment following the reimposition of US secondary sanctions on Iran. The new wave of polling helps confirm recent reporting from Iran that support for the JCPOA has fallen, with just 51 percent of respondents approving of the deal down from 55 percent in January 2018. For European policymakers, the new polling should offer a stark warning it must refocus its political and economic efforts to save the nuclear deal.
◢ A timely new survey published by the University of Maryland’s Center for International and Security Studies (CISSM) offers the first insights into Iranian public sentiments following last month’s protests.
