Public opinion polls conducted in the United States show that Donald Trump's military action against Iran does not have the support of the majority of the American people, and there are serious concerns in society about the consequences of war.
President Donald Trump's military move against Iran did not find the expected support among the American public. Public opinion polls conducted after the war revealed that a large majority of Americans were opposed to the military operation launched against Iran.
SIMILAR RESULTS IN THREE STUDIES
- According to a survey conducted by NPR/PBS/Marist, 56% of Americans opposed the military operation against Iran, while 44% stated that they supported the operation.
- In a similar study conducted by CNN, the proportion of those who did not approve of the attack on Iran was measured at 59%. In the same poll, the proportion of those supporting the operation remained at 41%.
- The Reuters/Ipsos study also presented a similar picture. According to the research, the proportion of those approving the war was at 27%, while 43% expressed their opposition to the operation. 30% of the participants stated that they were undecided on the issue.
THE LARGE MAJORITY SAID "CONGRESSIONAL APPROVAL"
Another notable result in public opinion polls was the proportion of those who believed that the decision for war should be made with congressional support. Approximately 70% of the respondents expressed that congressional approval was needed for the military operation against Iran. During the same period, it was observed that the support rate for Trump's presidency had decreased to 39%.
CONCERNS ARE GROWING
It is reported that concerns among the American public are increasing regarding the possibility that the conflict with Iran could last a long time and lead to new casualties. Experts consider the lack of the "rally around the flag" reflex, which has often been seen in the past in the U.S. even in the early days of the war, as a noteworthy development.
FORGOT THE ELECTION PROMISE
Despite Trump's campaign promise to "end endless wars," the escalation of tensions with Iran has brought discussions in U.S. domestic politics.
7 U.S. SOLDIERS LOST THEIR LIVES
On the other hand, the U.S. Department of Defense (Pentagon) reported that since the start of attacks by the U.S. and Israel against Iran, approximately 140 U.S. soldiers have been injured, 8 of whom are in serious condition. It was announced that 7 soldiers have also died.
