Overview
- A CNN/SSRS survey finds 59% disapprove of the decision to strike Iran, while a separate Reuters/Ipsos poll shows only 27% approve.
- Republicans are far more supportive than Democrats, yet polling highlights a split between MAGA-aligned and non-MAGA Republicans on strength of support and trust in Trump.
- Majorities expect a prolonged conflict with Iran, and just 12% favor sending U.S. ground troops, with 60% opposed.
- Most respondents say Trump lacks a clear plan for the campaign, and 62% want Congress to authorize any further military action.
- Several surveys were conducted immediately after the strikes and before CENTCOM confirmed four U.S. service-member deaths, underscoring how opinion may shift as casualties and costs become clearer.
