The National Iranian American Council (NIAC) partnered with the polling firm YouGov to conduct a rigorous and comprehensive national survey of Iranian Americans. A companion survey of the general U.S. population was also conducted to provide comparative insights. Fielded from May to June 2025, these surveys offer a unique and empirically grounded view of the Iranian-American community’s perspectives.

YouGov conducted this poll between May 10, 2025 and June 2, 2025, using a mix of mail-to-web and text-to-web outreach to the voter list and by recruiting Iranian Americans from YouGov’s proprietary panel as well as partner sample providers. YouGov successfully reached 585 Iranian Americans in this multi-modal survey. Respondents had to self-identify as Iranian from a list of possible nations of heritage in order to be included in the survey. YouGov then weighted the respondents to a sampling frame that was constructed based on stratified sampling of the 2022 American Community Survey (ACS) public use microdata file. The margin of error for the findings in the Iranian American survey (adjusted for weights) is +/- 4.79%.
Additionally, to add to our understanding of these critical issues and the unique experience of Iranian Americans, YouGov conducted an additional general U.S. population comparative survey in which respondents were asked some of the same questions included in the survey of Iranian Americans. This comparative survey of the general U.S. population was conducted between May 9 and May 30, 2025. YouGov interviewed 1,239 respondents who were then matched down to a sample of 1,000 to produce the final dataset. The respondents were matched to a sampling frame on gender, age, race, and education. The margin of error for the findings in the general population survey (adjusted for weights) is +/-3.5 %.
