Nearly two-thirds of Americans oppose the country's withdrawal from the Iran nuclear accord, sending a message to President Donald Trump on decision day to stay in, according to the latest CNN poll.

However, the 63 percent who believe the U.S. should remain in the deal is a 4-point drop from October, when 67 percent were in favor of staying in the deal.

The latest results, according to CNN's survey:

  • 63 percent oppose withdrawal from the Iran nuke deal.
  • 29 percent say the U.S. should withdraw from the nuke deal.
  • 51 percent of Republicans say the U.S. should withdraw, vs. 43 percent who say the U.S. should remain.
  • 62 percent of Independents oppose withdrawal, vs. 29 percent who are in favor of withdrawal.
  • 70 percent of white college graduates oppose withdrawal.

Regardless, 62 percent of Americans believe Iran has violated the terms of the nuclear agreement, vs. just 19 percent who think the terrorist nation has complied, according to CNN's results.

Further, 75 percent say Iran poses a "moderately" to "very serious" threat against the U.S., up 6 points since October, according to the survey.

The president is expected to announce Tuesday whether he will keep the U.S. in the treaty.

The study was conducted for CNN by SSRS, an independent research company. Interviews were conducted May 2-5 among a sample of 1,015 respondents. The margin of sampling error for total respondents is +/-3.6 at the 95 percent confidence level.
