As CBS mentions, Accurate public opinion polls are a rarity in Iran, whose Islamic rulers enforce strict rules of behavior and where dissidents are often imprisoned.

Thank you for the citation.
Interesting numbers… too bad that the sources of the poll are completely non-independent think-tanks, instead of internationally recognized polling organizations. The poll was conducted by
“Terror Free Tomorrow” - John McCain is a member of the board, need I say more?
“New America Foundation” - composed almost exclusively of Republican bigwigs (Governors, Dept heads… even the Republican guy from Google)

So I would consider those figures highly suspect.
