American's negative view about Iran decreased: Western poll

While a majority of US adults view Iran as a threat to the United States, that number has decreased slightly over the past three years, the poll shows.

'Sixty-seven percent of U.S. adults said in a poll conducted in July 2018 that Iran poses a 'moderate,' 'serious' or 'imminent' threat to the United States. That was down from 75 percent in March 2015, months before the Obama administration signed a nuclear deal lifting sanctions on Iran in return for curbs on its nuclear program,' Reuters reported on Friday.

'Thirty-four percent of registered voters said that the Republican Party has the better plan to handle Iran, and 28 percent said the Democratic Party had the better plan for Iran, according to Reuters/Ipsos polling from July 2018.'

This is while in May 2018, Trump withdrew the United States from the landmark nuclear deal, which was officially known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) and was a UNSC-affirmed and world supported deal. The US president announced he 'has taken a more isolationist approach to foreign policy than the previous administration.'

The move received an overwhelming objection by US European allies and other signatories of the JCPOA.
