A majority of Americans approves of President Donald Trump’s airstrikes on Iran’s nuclear facilities, according to one of the first polls taken in the aftermath of the weekend’s military action.
A new poll by American Pulse, conducted June 23-25 among 633 likely voters and with a 3.9% margin of error at the 95% confidence interval, showed that 55.5% of voters approved of Trump’s efforts to stop Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons, against 39.4% who disapproved. When airstrikes were specifically mentioned, the margins were similar: 53.7% approved and 39.3% disapproved.
There was a partisan split, but Republicans approved (86.1%) more strongly than Democrats disapproved (64.0%) of Trump’s actions. Those who identified as Trump voters approved of the airstrikes by nearly the same percentage (84.8%) as Republicans
