The Washington Post polled American opinion on a U. S. attack on Iran:
What do Americans think about the possibility of launching U.S. airstrikes against Iran, which President Donald Trump threatened this week unless the country dismantles its nuclear program? The Washington Post texted more than 1,000 people on Wednesday to ask.
The poll finds Americans opposing U.S. airstrikes against Iran by a 20 percentage-point margin — 45 percent to 25 percent — with a sizable 30 percent saying they are unsure.
In no group that the WaPo sampled did a majority of those polled favor a U. S. military response against Iran. Not Democrats (by a large margin). Not Republicans. Not independents. Not veterans. Not non-veterans.
Only 7% thought that Iran’s nuclear development program is not a threat to the U. S. at all and nearly 2/3s think that Iran’s program is either “an immediate and serious threat” or a “somewhat serious threat”.
