New polling on Iran at @today.yougov.com: Most Americans view Iran's government negatively, but views of its people are warmer. Few support invading Iran. A majority would give humanitarian aid if Iranians try to overthrow their leader, but not military aid.

More at today.yougov.com/internationa...
Most Americans (70%) say they have a somewhat or very unfavorable opinion of Iran's government, while only 3% say they have a favorable opinion. But many Americans have very different attitudes towards Iran's people. Half (50%) of Americans have a favorable opinion of the Iranian people, while only 18% have an unfavorable opinion. And nearly half (47%) have a favorable opinion of Iranian protesters, compared to 19% who view them unfavorably. This gap in attitudes towards Iran's government and its people exists across Democrats, Independents, and Republicans. Majorities of all three groups have an unfavorable opinion of Iran's government, while 3% or less of each group have a favorable opinion. In contrast, the Iranian people and Iranian protesters are viewed more favorably than unfavorably by Democrats, Independents, and Republicans. Republicans are more likely to express unfavorable opinions of Iranian people and protesters than are Democrats or Independents — about one-third of Republicans for each Iranian group compared to 15% or less of Democrats and Independents — but unfavorable attitudes toward the Iranian people and protesters are the minority view among all three groups. A majority (57%) of Americans would somewhat or strongly oppose the U.S. using military force to invade Iran. Only 21% would support a U.S. invasion. Democrats are most strongly opposed to such an invasion (80% vs. 5% who would support it). A majority of Independents are also opposed (57% vs. 14%). Republicans lean slightly toward support: 45% would support an invasion, while 36% would oppose it. If Iranians try to overthrow Ayatollah Khamenei as the country's leader, a majority (56%) of Americans would support offering humanitarian aid to those attempting to overthrow him, while only 16% would oppose offering humanitarian aid. Americans are more divided over whether the U.S. should provide military aid to such a cause: 37% would support providing U.S. military aid, while 31% would oppose it. Though that support falls far short of a majority, this is the only situation asked about in our recent Iran polls where more Americans would support U.S. military involvement in Iran than would oppose it. Majorities of Democrats (61%) and Republicans (62%) support providing U.S. humanitarian aid if Iranians try to overthrow Khamenei. About half (48%) of Independents say the same. Only 16% or 17% of each group would oppose offering humanitarian aid. There is a larger divide between Democrats, Independents, and Republicans on military aid for an overthrow attempt. Democrats are less likely to support than oppose offering military aid to Iranians trying to overthrow Khamenei (26% vs. 41%). Independents are about evenly split (29% vs. 31%). Republicans are far more supportive of military aid: A majority (56%) would support providing it, while only 21% oppose it.
