"The survey first asked about approval of Mr. Trump's decision to authorize military action against Iran for the goals of (1) preventing Iran from acquiring a nuclear weapon, (2) destroying Iran's missile arsenal and production sites, (3) degrading Iran's terrorist proxy networks and (4) annihilating the Iranian naval threat. Approval was 84% among all respondents. It was 94% among MAGA conservatives, 84% among traditional conservatives, 80% among moderates and 74% among libertarians."
"Here at home, the U.S. and Israeli air assault has revealed a significant divide between MAGA voters and a small but influential group of MAGA media figures who claim to speak for them. Much of the criticism of Operation Epic Fury comes from the likes of the Holocaust denier Nick Fuentes, the Israel-obsessed podcasters Tucker Carlson and Megyn Kelly, and the conspiracist Candace Owens."
"The poll asked if Trump voters felt that eliminating nearly 50 of Iran's terrorist leaders, many of whom are responsible for American deaths in the past had made the U.S. safer or less safe. Respondents broke 69% safer to 16% less safe."
Karl Rove's Wall Street Journal column challenges the narrative that Trump has lost MAGA voter support over U.S. military operations in Iran. While some influential MAGA media personalities, including Tucker Carlson, Candace Owens, and Nick Fuentes, have criticized Operation Epic Fury and blamed Israel's influence, survey data reveals strong voter approval. Among MAGA conservatives, 94% approve of Trump's decision to authorize military action against Iran for preventing nuclear weapons acquisition, destroying missile arsenals, degrading terrorist proxy networks, and eliminating naval threats. Additionally, 69% of Trump voters believe eliminating Iranian terrorist leaders has made the U.S. safer. These results demonstrate a significant disconnect between vocal MAGA media critics and the broader MAGA voter base.
