Americans Back Iran Deal By 2-To-1 Margin: Reuters/Ipsos Poll -- Reuters

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.

My Comment: Americans have zero appetite to become involved in another war in the Middle East .... especially on a war of choice. As to the poll results on the Iranian deal itself .... I suspect that the 44% who support it is probably a soft  number, and they support it because the alternative (i.e. war) is even less palatable.
