According to a new YouGov poll, conducted June 13 to June 16, a majority of Americans think the United States should not get involved in Israel’s war with Iran, signaling trouble for the midterms if President Trump decides to send troops into the conflict.
50% say they believe Iran is an enemy of the U.S., while only 1% consider Iran an ally.
Still, of the 1,512 survey respondents, only 16% support U.S. involvement in the war, with 60% opposed and 24% are not sure. The opposition to U.S. involvement includes 65% of Democrats, 61% of Independents, and 53% of Republicans.
Only 23% of Republicans and 19% of those who say they voted for Trump say they support U.S. involvement.
Meanwhile, 56% of the 1,511 surveyed, including 58% of Democrats, 51% of independents, and 61% of Republicans, say the U.S. should negotiate with Iran.
63% of Trump voters said that the U.S. should negotiate instead of resorting to war. Only 18% of Trump voters say that the U.S. should not negotiate with Iran.
Trump supporters tend to favor threatening sanctions on Iran (42%) over threatening Iran with military force (30%).
As The Gateway Pundit reported, President Trump was potentially weighing a strike on Iran during a meeting with his national security team in the Situation Room on Tuesday afternoon.
The meeting came after Trump threatened to take out Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
This is a developing story.
