Key Findings
- Across several polls, American public opinion on the war in Iran has remained consistent over the last month and a half, with few fluctuations.
- More than half of Americans—including majorities of Democrats and Independents—oppose the war in Iran; Republicans, on the other hand, support the war and approve of US military strikes against Iran.
- Americans across the board oppose sending US ground troops into Iran, citing concerns over the risks to the lives of military personnel.
- Two-thirds of Americans want the United States to end its involvement in the conflict, even if US military objectives are not met—a policy view shared by Democrats and Independents.
- By contrast, a majority of Republicans think the United States should work to achieve its goals in Iran, even if it means US involvement in the conflict continues for an extended period of time.
The Iran War is Dividing America Along Party Lines
Recent polls show Democrats and Independents oppose US policy toward the conflict, while Republicans back the Trump administration's approach.
Obviously, they polled more Dems than Repubs to get the overall result. But this shows that Democrats want an Iranian victory.
I get why you don't want the U.S. to win anything at all when Trump is in the White House. I get why you do not want Israel to win. Boy, do I.
But Democrats, why do you want other Muslim nations to lose to Iran? Do you only support the kind of Muslims who hang women dissenters and mutilate girls? Is the United Arab Emmirates too moderate for you?
