Majority of Americans oppose Trump’s Iran strikes, per new polling 02.03.2026

A majority of Americans oppose the Trump administration's military strikes on Iran, according to multiple polls released following the attacks on Saturday morning. A CNN/SSRS poll indicated nearly six in 10 Americans disapprove, while a Washington Post/SSRS poll found 52 percent opposed. Support for the strikes is divided along partisan lines, with Democrats largely against and Republicans more supportive, though a Reuters/Ipsos poll revealed that 42 percent of Republicans would be less likely to support the attacks if American casualties occurred. Public perception of the administration's primary goal in the conflict varies, with the stated objective being to dismantle Iran's weapons programs. Many Americans anticipate a prolonged conflict, and concerns about rising gas prices, which have already seen a significant jump, further diminish support for continued military action.
