GET ME REWRITE: At least 18% of Americans are still guzzling the Koolaid

A clear majority of Americans support a deal to end the war between the U.S. and Iran, our latest Strength In Numbers/Verasight poll finds. According to the survey, which was conducted June 17–22, 2026, adults back the deal by a margin of more than two to one: 59% of U.S. adults support the deal to end the war, while just 24% oppose it. 
But Americans do not think the deal is good, or that the war was successful. Rather, our poll indicates voters support the agreement because they see it as ending a war few supported. Only 18% of Americans say the U.S. actually achieved its goals in Iran, while nearly half — 46% — say the country should never have gone to war in the first place. Overall, 61% of adults say they are not confident the deal will stop Iran from building a nuclear weapon, as the Trump administration claims. 
While the war — and its effect on gas prices — led to a large decrease in Trump’s approval rating, the announcement of the deal (even if it doesn’t stick) and a drop in prices at the pump have not yet helped him. Overall, 37% of U.S. adults approve and 60% disapprove of his job performance as president, identical to May’s reading and still among the worst readings we’ve recorded since we began tracking the question a year ago.
