A new Reagan Institute Summer Survey finds Americans divided on preferred U.S. approach toward Iran, with support for two main options close to each other. The survey reports that 39% of respondents favor a negotiated settlement, while 36% support pursuing regime change. The results suggest there is no single dominant preference among the public for the direction of U.S. policy. The outlets describe the findings in the context of recent developments involving a Trump-era agreement with Iran, indicating that public opinion remains sharply split even after policy moves associated with the agreement. While the reports focus on the comparable levels of support for negotiation and regime change, neither source provides additional breakdowns such as views by party, demographic group, or how respondents define the options. Both accounts draw from the same survey and present the same headline figures, emphasizing that the gap between the two choices is small and that Americans broadly back both approaches at similar rates.
