A majority of Americans don’t believe that Iran will abide by the terms of a nuclear accord between Tehran, the United States and other Western nations, according to the results of a Monmouth University poll released Tuesday morning, the same day the Iran deal was announced.
55 percent did not believe that Tehran would dismantle its nuclear program or allow independent inspections.

Monmouth conducted the telephone survey over the weekend, prior to Tuesday’s announcement that a final deal had been reached to lift economic sanctions in exchange for international oversight and inspections of Iranian nuclear sites.

“The pact with Iran faces an uncertain future in Congress. A major sticking point with the American public is a sense that Tehran really can’t be trusted to keep its part of the bargain,” said Patrick Murray, director of the independent Monmouth University Polling Institute in New Jersey.

About 95 percent of the people polled say they have no trust or a little trust in Iran, while only 4 percent indicated “a lot” of trust.

The level of trust expressed in this most recent poll are similar to a January Monmouth poll in which 59 percent of those surveyed expressed no trust at all.
