A new national survey shows overwhelming support among Americans for bringing the conflict with Iran to a close, as the Trump administration moves ahead with diplomatic efforts following last week’s signing of a framework agreement between Washington and Tehran.

The CBS News/YouGov poll, conducted between Wednesday and Friday, asked respondents what course the United States should take regarding the ongoing confrontation with Iran.

According to the survey, 78 percent of Americans believe the conflict should end immediately, while 22 percent said the United States should continue military and diplomatic pressure until Iran makes additional concessions.

The poll also examined attitudes among Republican voters, including those who identify with the MAGA movement.

Among Republicans overall, 60 percent favored ending the conflict now, while 40 percent preferred continuing it until Iran yields further ground. Among self-described MAGA Republicans, 56 percent backed ending the conflict immediately, while 44 percent supported pressing forward until Iran offers more concessions.

CBS noted that the survey was based on interviews with 2,519 adults nationwide conducted from June 17 through June 19.

“This CBS News/YouGov survey was conducted with a nationally representative sample of 2,519 U.S. adults interviewed between June 17-19, 2026. The sample was weighted to be representative of adults nationwide according to gender, age, race, and education, based on the U.S. Census American Community Survey and Current Population Survey, as well as 2024 presidential vote. The margin of error is ±2.4 points,” the article noted.

The polling results were released days after President Donald Trump and Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian formally signed a memorandum of understanding intended to end hostilities between the two countries.

According to reports, Trump signed the agreement following the G7 summit at the Palace of Versailles on Wednesday, while Pezeshkian signed the document remotely.

Separate polling conducted by Quantus reportedly found broad support among American voters for the preliminary agreement.

Trump confirmed that the memorandum had been signed and indicated that negotiators would spend the next two months finalizing remaining details.

“The deal’s all signed. And the Strait [of Hormuz] is already partially opened, as you know they’re doing a little hunting for a couple of mines that they’ve already found, but it’s essentially ships are starting to go out now; on Friday it will be completely opened,” Trump said.

The president also expressed optimism about the new Iranian leadership and the potential for wider regional stability.

“We got along very well with Iran. It’s a different set of leaders. As you know, the first set is gone, the second set is gone, and we found the third set to be very smart — strong — very smart, but we ended up making a deal. I felt badly that we had to go back on the attack for two nights, and I thought a third, but we made it before that happened. But I think a lot of great things are going to happen with the Middle East right now, and very importantly the oil is plummeting down, and the stock market is shooting up like a rocket, today, like record kind of numbers,” he added.

As diplomatic efforts continue, Vice President JD Vance arrived in Switzerland on Sunday to participate in the first direct negotiations between American and Iranian officials since the memorandum was signed.

The talks are taking place amid continuing uncertainty in the region, with tensions surrounding the Strait of Hormuz and renewed clashes involving the Iran-backed Hezbollah terror group threatening to complicate the diplomatic process.

“The negotiations will play out against a backdrop of rising tensions over the Strait of Hormuz and renewed fighting between the Iran-backed Hezbollah terrorist group and Israel threatened to upend the fragile diplomatic process,” the outlet said.
