Polls already show Americans rejecting Trump's Iran warmongering

Within hours of President Donald Trump announcing his decision this weekend to bomb multiple military sites in Iran, public opinion polling showed a plurality of Americans opposing the action.

Trump reportedly chose to launch the attack after hours of watching Fox News’ positive coverage of Israel’s attacks on Iran, prompting Iran to respond on Monday with missile attacks on American bases in Qatar and Iraq.

In a YouGov poll taken on Saturday and Sunday, 46% of respondents said they strongly or somewhat disapproved of the bombing campaign that Trump instigated. The biggest bloc of people opposed were Democrats, with 70% disapproving of the Republican’s actions. Among independents, 51% opposed the bombing and even among Republicans, 13% said they didn’t back Trump.

Most of those who were polled (44%) also said they believed Trump’s attack would make Americans less safe. Only 25% bought into Trump’s argument that the bombings would secure the country, with 20% responding that they were not sure and 11% saying that it would not improve or degrade safety.
