Poll: Americans Overwhelmingly Oppose Trump’s Strikes on Iran - Mother Jones

Just one in four Americans supports the Trump administration's ongoing strikes on Iran, according to a Reuters/Ipsos poll released on Sunday.The disapproval rating was 43 percent, while 29 percent said they were not sure.

About half of respondents-including one in four Republicans-said the president was too open to using military force. The poll surveyed 1,282 US adults starting on Saturday, following news breaking of the strikes.

Even before the attacks, Trump's handling of Iran was unpopular. Back in January, a Reuters/Ipsos found that only 33 percent of Americans approved of (his) policy with Iran, while 43 percent disapproved.

3. When you get reminded over and over

How little has been done to address your concerns, things designed to distract you kind of fall flat. tRump doesn’t live like the rest of the real people live so he isn’t familiar with the price of groceries. He doesn’t pull out his check book and write checks to pay bills — or go to his banking app to make payments for his insurance or car. But millions of us do that regularly so we know if prices are going down or not.

When tRump does things to distract, it is pretty obvious. But with his limited experience of everyday life, he doesn’t know his efforts to make us think about or worry about something else are futile. When you’re worried about making ends meet and have no way to stretch any more of your budget, he is just so much noise and flapping of his arms. Somebody needs to tell him it’s not working.

Oh, and release all of the Epstein files. We can walk and chew gum at the same time — if we want to.

4. And essential government workers like the TSA workers aren't getting paid

But they found money to bomb a country that was not threatening us. 🤬

[LuvLoogie]

5. The 29 percent who said they weren't sure absolutely support it.

They just aren't sure if it's wise to say so yet. They are hedging. I mean they don't oppose it either.

Whatever.

This is America.

24. In other words, you know it's bullshit but just like to make insane hyperbolic statements.

[LuvLoogie]

30. Only 43 percent say they oppose.

How does that translate to overwhelmingly oppose. THAT's hyperbole. LOL

How do you not know if you support or oppose a racist criminal regime using the military in a criminal manner?

That's hedging because you're too concerned with looking like a murderous asshole or looking like a woke beta.

[Wiz Imp]

33. Wow. Keep digging...

[LuvLoogie]

34. That 43% is doing a lot of heavy lifting in that OP.

I'm not sure the Not Sures are gonna wanna lend a hand.

[popsdenver]

7. 33% represents only

[OMGWTF]

10. The only Americans supporting T💩p get their news exclusively from Fux (oops, a tupo) News

[Xipe Totec]

12. Building a Republican Utopia around lip injections and hot wings... That's class A snark. nt

[ffr]

15. Coincidentially, 33 - 43 % of the population has Trump TV on in their living rooms 24/7.

They're also followers of the orange anus on his social media platform. So yeah, they believe what they're told to believe, like good little brainless followers.

[Wiz Imp]

17. Do you realize that Fox News hardly ever has more than 3 or 4 million people watching at a given time?

That translates to no more than 1 to 2% of the population having it on at any given time,let alone 24/7. Surely well under 1% of the population has Fox on 24/7. People here vastly overrate the viewership of Fox News.

21. Republicans are cowards.

The fetid smell from NY 21 is Elise Stefanik.

A true Trump bootlicker.
Bootlicker- is a derogatory term for someone who behaves servilely or excessively flatteringly toward a person in authority, hoping to gain personal advantage, favor, or promotion, often seen as lacking self-respect and being insincere.

22. Headline: BULL DESTROYS CHINA SHOP

Who could have known??

[struggle4progress]

25. "If this doesn't get me the Nobel Peace Prize, we'll have to bomb Norway"

[B.See]

26. or steal (correction, extort) another one.

[struggle4progress]

27. Does this mean Comer will recall Bill Clinton to interrogate him further?

And maybe it's time to again suggest investigate Renee Good's wife?

And why not another attempt to get a grand jury to indict Congress folk for suggesting that active military folk should follow the law and refuse to follow illegal orders?

[Klarkashton]

28. Opinions don't count in a dictatorship.

Only "USA USA"

[progree]

29. The poll was taken before any U.S. deaths and wounded were reported

Now we've got 3 U.S. dead and 5 seriously wounded the latest I've read...

So it's not a zero U.S. casualties situation like the strikes on Iran last June, or the Maduro regime-change operation, that some may have expected again, so I will be watching for polls taken after that news.

[BannonsLiver]

31. Not a great start for Trump.

I’m not surprised so many are undecided. The regime has done nothing to communicate their objectives which is an unforced error. Because of that, most of the 29 percent will probably break the other way. That compounds as the initial barrage fades and the hardliners are still in charge in Iran.

[Aussie105]

32. Media around the world took less than 24 hours to decide their position.

Some talk of another unneeded and undeclared war, the ignorance of the need for countries overseas for self-determination, the cost in human lives, the 'existential threat' to Israel and the USA of Iranian nukes being an excuse rather than a fact, etc.

Other just go 'good on ya America!' and ignore everything else.

Unfortunately my local TV source, ABC Australia, usually level headed in its reporting, is in the second group, going as far as putting file film of US aircraft launches off carriers and missile launches from ships on an endless loop.
Our own version of Fox News.

Meanwhile, Iranians living in Australia cheer in the streets, believing this is the end of autocratic theocratic rule in their own country, and tomorrow democracy will rule.

They will be disappointed.

[WarGamer]

37. In other words, 57% support the strikes or have no opinion?
