Polls show Americans strongly oppose the war in Iran - Poynter

"Voters are unenthusiastic about the air attack on Iran and there is overwhelming opposition to putting American troops on Iranian soil to fight a ground war. The latest Quinnipiac University poll shows that 53% of voters oppose the U.S. military action against Iran, while 40% support it. In addition, 74% of voters oppose sending U.S. ground troops into Iran, while 20% support it."

"The Quinnipiac poll shows that 77% of voters think it is either very likely (33%) or somewhat likely (44%) that there will be a terrorist attack on U.S. soil in response to the U.S. military action against Iran. Americans have already been killed in this war, as well as hundreds of civilians in Iran. The Pentagon reported Tuesday that 140 American service members have been injured so far."

"A majority of voters (55%) do not think Iran posed an imminent military threat to the U.S. before the current military action against it, while 39% think it did. Not surprisingly, polls show a divide along party lines. Democrats are pretty much universally against the war, while Republicans generally support it - although they would like to see the U.S. less involved in conflicts around the world."

Recent Quinnipiac University polling reveals significant public opposition to U.S. military action against Iran. Fifty-three percent of voters oppose the air strikes while 40% support them. Opposition to ground troops is even more pronounced at 74%, with only 20% in favor. A majority of voters (55%) believe Iran did not pose an imminent military threat before the action. The Pentagon reports 140 American service members injured, with eight severely wounded. Seventy-seven percent of voters fear terrorist attacks on U.S. soil in retaliation. Oil price volatility threatens economic stability. Political divisions are evident, with Democrats largely opposing the war and Republicans generally supporting it, though preferring reduced global military involvement.
