Reagan Institute Poll Finds 39% Back Iran Deal, 36% Favor Regime Change

Summary
A Reagan Institute survey found Americans narrowly prefer a negotiated Iran settlement over regime change, 39% to 36%, with 16% favoring a weakened regime and 8% undecided.
The split lands as President Donald Trump pushes a new memorandum with Iran that opens a 60-day negotiating window and ties limited sanctions waivers to continued talks.
Republicans broke sharply toward a harder line: 50% backed replacing Iran's government versus 25% supporting a deal, while self-identified MAGA Republicans split 51% to 25% the same way.
Democrats largely favored diplomacy, with 52% supporting a settlement and 25% regime change, underscoring the domestic political challenge for Trump's effort to curb Iran's nuclear and missile programs through talks.
The May 26-June 3 poll surveyed 1,555 people nationwide and had a margin of error of plus or minus 2.5 percentage points.
