All the polls on the U.S. war in Iran so far www.gelliottmorris.com/p/polls-us-i... If you ignore people who say they “don’t know” how they feel about the war, disapproval of Trump’s actions is already at 56%. That is higher than the resistance to Vietnam in 1971.

Typically when a war starts there is a major “rally around the flag” bounce. The fact that this is only up around 10 points is crazy. The first gulf war was supported by 70%+ of the population.

There's been about a 10-point increase in support for attacking Iran since Feb 23, according to YouGov. That's driven entirely by Republicans rallying around Trump

Of course, because they've reverted to their Judeo-Christian, lizard-brain reaction to Muslims. They forgot about them for a while because of affordability, but fire up that existential threat machine that is "radical Islam" and the Right's leg starts kicking like Pavlov's dog.

Cool! Looking forward to all those people who "support the war" to start enlisting in the military immediately and get to the front lines as soon as possible when we start putting boots on the ground.

Ugh, it’s always the way. Some cult members have a normal human response to the criminal enterprise doing something shocking and horrible, and then right wing media goes to work on them for a few days and brings them back in line.

Russia is providing Iran with targeting intelligence to attack U.S. forces in the Middle East, according to three sources. “It does seem like it’s a pretty comprehensive effort,” one of the sources said.- WAPO

Glimpsing inside these respondents heads. Every time we ask about something Trump is telegraphing he’s going to do we get tagged for bias by conservative respondents before he does it for suggesting he might do it and for bias after he does it for omitting context about why it had to be done.

Please don't only blame cult members when many hosts and guests on MSNOW claim it was a very good thing to eliminate the Supreme Leader of Iran. Dems love to spend $$ on warfare, too. They've invested heavily in the Military Industrial Complex and MOST TAKE AIPAC $$. We are not the World's POLICE!!

Polls r not valid if the respondents r NOT informed on the survey! Example is "66% want undocumented deported". respondents don't know Trump/Corps sent "Employment Offers" to them to come to US. Don't know undocumented pay for our Social Security. If respondents knew the facts polls would be diff!

I seriously wonder how many think it will magically get improved without mass action given the lawless, unethical, immoral admin that only believes in the strongman doctrine?

Vietnam war had a draft. It drafted college kids. It was the first ever televised daily war. When the Vietnam draft went after the middle class, resistance grew. Not the case now in 2026.

Wild guess based on Americans’ attention spans: By the end of next week people will be ready to move on from this episode of “the show” and start to wonder what we are still doing there, and that will show up in polls the following week. So numbers worse by March 20.
