As the June 30
deadline for negotiations over its nuclear program approaches, a new Pew
Research Center poll finds that attitudes toward Iran are mostly negative
worldwide. Majorities or pluralities in 31 of 40 countries surveyed hold an
unfavorable opinion of the Islamic Republic. And in several Muslim-majority
countries in the Middle East and Asia, ratings have declined considerably in
recent years.
June also marks the second anniversary of the election of Iranian President Hassan Rouhani , who generally receives low marks across the Middle Eastern nations polled.
These are among the key findings of a new survey by the Pew Research Center conducted in 40 countries among 45,435 respondents from March 25 to May 27, 2015.

Iran is viewed negatively by most nations surveyed, with a global median of 58% saying they have an unfavorable opinion of the country that borders Afghanistan in the east and Iraq in the west.
