Polls show Americans strongly oppose the war in Iran

Early polling suggests the war is unusually unpopular compared with past US military conflicts

The United States is engaged in an unpopular war, according to most American citizens. Very unpopular. Historically unpopular.

That’s what early polls are indicating.

The latest Quinnipiac University poll shows that 53% of voters oppose the U.S. military action against Iran, while 40% support it. In addition, 74% of voters oppose sending U.S. ground troops into Iran, while 20% support it.

Quinnipiac University polling analyst Tim Malloy said, “Voters are unenthusiastic about the air attack on Iran and there is overwhelming opposition to putting American troops on Iranian soil to fight a ground war.”
