Plurality of survey respondents disapproved of Iran strikes
Recent poling shows that only one out of four Americans approved of the Iran strikes. A plurality of the respondents, 43%, disapproved of military force against Iran. Broken down by party affiliation, the majority of Democrats opposed attacking Iran while a majority of the Republicans approved hitting Iran. When informed of this polling, President Trump stood by his decision, explaining the action as necessary.
From Fox News:
Twenty-seven percent of those surveyed said they approved of the strikes, with 43% disapproving and nearly three in 10 not sure.
But there’s a partisan divide, with Republicans by a 55%-32% margin supportive of the military action. The vast majority of Democrats, 73%, disapproved of the strikes, with only seven percent saying they approved. A plurality of independents, 44%, disapproved of the military attack, with 19% supportive and nearly four in 10 unsure.
The poll was conducted before the U.S. military announced on Sunday the first U.S. casualties in the operation — three service members killed and five more seriously wounded.
“I think that the polling is very good, but I don’t care about polling. I have to do the right thing. I have to do the right thing. This should have been done a long time ago,” Trump said in an interview Monday with the New York Post when asked about the new survey.
The joint U.S.-Israeli operation is expected to carry on for days, with officials telling Fox News that Israel is targeting Iranian leadership, while the U.S. is attacking military targets and ballistic missile sites that pose an “imminent threat.”
The attack has plunged the volatile Middle East into a new and unpredictable conflict. Iran has retaliated against Israel and other nations in the region. Trump on Sunday warned against Iranian retaliation, saying that if Iran were to “hit very hard,” they would be met with “a force that has never been seen before.”

They never asked me my opinion. Im in my sixties now and I can say with 100% confidence that “they” (whoever they are) havent never asked me…..
So, whadda’ya’think? Other than oil is there something of value in that area?
I blame Henry Kissinger for everything that is wrong in Middle East.
(Knock! Knock)
Hello, good Sir! I’m from the Kingdom Hall of Jehovah’s Witnesses. Have you heard of our Father, Jahovah? Also, what is your opinion on alcohol and tobacco? Cause we’re opposed.
JK
“Oh yeah, forgot to add that they’re only lettin’ 144,000 souls into heaven!” 😁
I would be in that 43% disapproval as I wasn’t in support of it either.
But the game is now afoot and now I will support the hell out of it. It was going to happen sooner or later and this is a president who doesn’t kick the can down the road for another generation to figure out.
Iran hadn’t gotten any less violent, crazy or aggressive in the last 40 years and continued to develop it’s offensive weapons programs and support terrorist armies and continued to sew strife all around the planet.
It was notable that no one at the UN, not even the Arab League rep came out on their side.
The Iranian Mullahs have been collectively shitting in their beds for over the past forty years, and it’s past time for them to lay in it!
I educated a dentist front office today on the war that actually started in 1979 with the capture of the American Hostages.
Every GI that died in Iraq, Afghanistan, Somalia and Americans lost to terrorism wince that happened, including 9-11 died at the hand of Islamic terrorists supplied and trained by Iran and the Mullah’s there.
Not one president since Carter had the balls to finish the fight and tried everything including funding the terror cells themselves…
It’s long past time to fix this…
US State Department urges Americans to leave the Middle East:
Ya think!?
Probably a stupid question but is the West Bank on the Egyptian side? What divides the area between the West Bank and the other side?
Iran hits a sanctioned ship that had Iranians among its crew:
One question not yet answered is; “Does Iran still have chemical weapons?”
We know they have the means to deliver them.
Tim Walz posts “No new wars” on social media. He gets his rear end handed to him, comedy gold memes get posted in response.
This ain’t a new war; I remember in 1979 some Iranian big shot was on TV stating Iran is at war with the US. He went on to say if a little country like Viet Nam could beat the US; imagine what a large country like Iran could do. It’s a pity Jimmy the peanut was President; I’d like to imagine what the world would be like if Jimmy had the stones to slap that Iranian big shot.
It is ok Timmy, you don’t need to be scared, they aren’t gonna pull your lard ass off the retired list to send you.
I have to wonder if Timmy’s former Soldiers rrealize what kind of bullet they dodged when Timmy decided he didn’t want to do Soldier stuff and stayed home.
Wa Tampon Timmy ever out for anyone other than himself?
Democrats are delusional on Iran:
Don’t whose side she is on but willing to consider it, if only temporarily.
I’m so happy that the ayatollah is dead that the end justified the means. This finally put Carter in the grave and never should have been tolerated to begin with. Islam is called a religion but it is a cult of evil and has no place in the West. If somewhere else goes that way let them do so within their own confines.
I wonder why anyone has ever indulged N. Korea but I suppose that it is related to China or Russia. Little rocket man needs an aneurysm to fulfill his reason for existence.
And once fatty Kim Cheese kicks the bucket, his daughter has been chosen to succeed him, but Fat Boy’s sister is very power-hungry, rumored to be even more soulless than her brother, and there will likely be a family power struggle!
Too bad we didn’t get a shot at that POS Khomeini.
if it were obama or biden that did what Pres Trump, it would be a 100% okay to do it.
Wasn’t a set of balls between the two of them. Michelle’s don’t count.
Because it’s Trump, they’re angry.
I’m just waiting for a particular individual to show up and start flinging shit everywhere while pissing his pants, simultaneously…..
Brought enough popcorn for everyone…
Gonna have to restock the bar, too.
