Trump Touts ‘Tremendous Support’ for Iran War — but What do the Latest Polls Show?
President Donald Trump highlighted the “tremendous support” for the war in Iran in a new interview — though recent polls are painting a more muddled picture.
In a sit-down conversation with Jake Paul released Friday, the influencer-turned-boxer pointed to what he saw as criticism from some of the U.S. public over Operation Epic Fury. . .
Trump replied: “We support gays, but they throw gays off the buildings, OK? We support this. I mean, the things they do — and they’re fighting. But I think I have tremendous support on this.” . . .
A poll out Thursday from The Washington Post, which surveyed 1,005 Americans, did record less opposition to the war than previous surveys — but the majority still want U.S. strikes to come to a halt rather than continue by a 42% to 34% margin.
According to the poll, 42% of respondents said they support the U.S. military campaign in Iran, while 40% stand against it. Another 17% said they are unsure. . .
A Quinnipiac University poll, released Monday, found that 53% of voters oppose U.S. military action against Iran, while 40% back it. A Reuters/Ipsos poll from the same day indicated that just 29% of Americans approve of the strikes, while 42% disapprove.
