So the first survey asked if the nuclear treaty should be a priority and the second one asked whether it should be a priority over human rights? How can you make a comparison between two very different questions?

Because in geopolitics everything is on the table. There is a very imaginable scenario where Iran offers concessions to get to a nuclear deal in exchange for tacit support for its brutal crackdown over these protests. These polls let politicians know which way their constituents would prefer that they lean on the issue.
