New Polls Show Weak Support for U.S.-Israel Strikes on Iran as Republican Rifts Emerge

Analysts say Trump's political standing will hinge on whether the conflict widens or stays contained.

Overview

  • Reuters/Ipsos polling finished Sunday finds 27% approve the strikes, 43% disapprove and 29% are unsure less than 48 hours after the U.S.-Israel operation that USA TODAY reports killed Ali Khamenei.
  • In the same survey, 56% say Trump is too willing to use military force to advance U.S. interests.
  • Iranian media cited by Reuters report more than 200 dead and over 700 wounded, figures not confirmed by U.S. or international authorities.
  • U.S. military officials report three American service members were killed in action during the fighting.
  • POLITICO polling shows only half of 2024 Trump voters supported attacking Iran, with support higher among MAGA identifiers than non‑MAGA Republicans, and GOP strategists warn a prolonged conflict would likely be a political liability.
