As the United States' joint attack with Israel on Iran entered Day 11 on Tuesday, 10 March, a university poll shows that the majority of American voters do not support the strikes on the Persian Gulf country and fear a terror attack on home soil in retaliation for the attack on the Iranian regime.
The majority of voters in America also do not want to see boots on the Iranian soil, but neither do they expect a quick end to the conflict.
According to a Quinnipiac (KWIN-uh-pea-ack) University national poll of registered voters released today, as many as 53% of voters oppose the US military action against Iran, while 40% support it.
What about the alleged ‘threat’ from Iran?
About 55% of voters say Iran was not an imminent military threat to the United States before the latest US military action, compared with 39% who believe it was.
Of them, Democrats, who account for 83-12% and independents, 63-31% “do not think Iran posed an imminent military threat to the United States”, while about 74 - 23% of Republicans think it did.
“Seventy-seven% of voters think it is either very likely (33%) or somewhat likely (44%) that there will be a terrorist attack on US soil in response to the US military action against Iran, while 19% think it is either not so likely (12%) or not likely at all (7%),” the poll said.
Despite the ‘nuclear’ claims that Donald Trump and the Israeli regime kept floating, 62% of voters think the Trump administration "has not provided a clear explanation of the reasons behind the United States' military action against Iran, while 35% think the government did provide an explanation.
“Fifty-nine per cent of voters think President Trump should have received approval from Congress before taking military action against Iran, while 38 per cent do not think President Trump should have received approval from Congress before taking military action against Iran,” it said.
On Donald Trump's approval, only 37% of American voters have given a thumbs up, approving of the way the Republican president is handling the job, while 57% disapprove.
“The 58% disapproval for Trump's handling of the economy is the highest disapproval he has ever received for his handling of the economy. The previous high was 57%,” the poll said.
