A new national poll finds an overwhelming majority of Americans believe President Donald Trump has “gone too far” in taking military action against Iran.
“Six in 10 adults say the recent U.S. military action against Iran has gone too far, 26% say it has been about right, and 13% say it has not gone far enough. Nine in 10 Democrats say the recent military action has gone too far, while 52% of Republicans say it’s been about right,” the Associated Press reports in a statement announcing the findings of it AP-NORC poll.
Among independents, 63% say military action has gone too far.
“When thinking about the foreign policy goals of the United States, 65% say it is extremely or very important to prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon, and 67% say it’s important to prevent U.S. oil and gas prices from rising. Fewer say preventing Iran from threatening Israel (39%) or replacing Iran’s government with one that’s friendlier to U.S. interests (33%) are important foreign policy goals,” the AP reports.
“Sixty-two percent oppose deploying U.S. troops on the ground in Iran. Half (48%) oppose sending government funds to aid Israel’s army. There is less opposition when it comes to conducting airstrikes against military targets inside Iran or targeted airstrikes to kill Iranian leaders, though only about one-third express support. Many don’t have an opinion one way or the other for any action asked about,” the AP adds.
“Similar to the AP-NORC February 2026 poll conducted prior to the U.S. military action in Iran, the public continues to have little trust in President Trump’s ability to make the right decisions regarding the use of nuclear weapons (27%), to deploy military force outside of the U.S. (27%), and to handle relationships with allies and adversaries (26%). Republicans are more likely than either Democrats or independents to have a great deal or quite a bit of trust in Trump to make the right foreign policy decisions,” the AP concludes.

“Progressive” democrats respond to these “polls” with unwavering TDS.
Over 60%? What do the poll takers do? Do they ask only left wing libs?
Does anyone actually believe this number?
I asked a ‘bunch’ of people about whether or not they are in favor of this action against Iran.
All said ‘YES’!
So am I!
I’m not in favor of war in general ( I spent four years in the Marine Corp with one of them in Vietnam. I didn’t like getting shot at. ), but this one is totally necessary.
It’s a case of a smaller one now, or a MUCH bigger one later.
Sometimes these things are just necessary!
