Washington DC; March 2026<\/strong>: Ipsos a global leader in market research has conducted a poll in association with Reuters, where it was demonstrated that only one in four respondents approved of the US-Israeli attacks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The early findings could have a significant effect on how the Trump administration moves forward in the days ahead and on how lawmakers respond to the attacks, particularly as they look to a punishing midterm election season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trump on Sunday (01st March 2026 \u2013 Monday early morning IST) have promised to continue what he described as a \u201crighteous mission\u201d until \u201call objectives are achieved\u201d. Referencing the 03 US military members announced killed on Sunday, Trump said that \u201cthere will likely be more before it ends\u201d. After a US-Israeli strike killed Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, Trump again framed Iran as an existential threat to the US, claiming that the country\u2019s leaders \u201chave waged war against civilisation itself\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Ipsos-Reuters poll suggested that the US public does not share that view, with 43% of respondents saying they disapproved of the war and another 29% saying they were unsure. Approval among Republicans was evitably stronger, but not resounding, with 55% saying they approved of the strikes, 13% have disapproved, while 32% were unsure. Perhaps most significantly, about 42% of Republicans said they would be less likely to support the operation if it led to \u201cUS troops in the Middle East being killed or injured\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

About 74% of Democrats disapproved of the strike, with 7 percent approving and 19 percent unsure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The poll results have been released today morning (IST) comes as Republican lawmakers have largely coalesced around Trump\u2019s message on Iran, even as its contradiction to Trump\u2019s campaign promises risks alienating his Make America Great Again (MAGA) base. Trump had run on a pledge to cease \u201cendless wars\u201d and halt US interventionism abroad in an \u201cAmerica First\u201d pivot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While Trump has shown a unique ability to shape the views of his staunchest supporters in his likeness, some conservative commentators have warned that he is playing with fire. \u201cIf this war is a swift, easy, and decisive victory, most of them will get over it\u201d, Blake Neff, a former producer for late conservative activist Charlie Kirk, wrote on X. \u201cBut if the war is anything else, there will be a lot of anger\u201d, he added that \u201csuccess can override bad explanations. So, we must pray for success\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beyond the 03 US military personnel killed, at least 201 people have been killed in Iran, 09 in Israel, 02 in Iraq, 03in the United Arab Emirates and 01 in Kuwait.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile, 45% of respondents to the Reuters-Ipsos poll, including 34% of Republicans and 44% of independents, said they would be less likely to support the campaign against Iran if gas or oil prices increased in the US. The conflict has threatened arterial trade routes, with several companies suspending shipments in the area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Democrats will also be keeping a close eye on public sentiment on the war, which will surely hang over the campaign season ahead of the midterm elections in November. The party has made affordability a key issue, with incumbents and upstart challengers alike portraying Trump\u2019s military adventurism, which has also included the US abduction of Venezuelan leader Nicolas Maduro, as out of touch with his messaging.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Elected Democrats, meanwhile, have given a range of responses to the US operation against Iran, with at least one Democratic senator praising Trump\u2019s strikes. Others celebrated Khamenei\u2019s killing, but remained more circumspect on Trump\u2019s justification for the attacks, while several others were forthright in condemning the strikes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Several Democrats on Sunday have said the killing of US soldiers underscored the urgency of passing a war powers resolution, which would require approval from Congress before further military action is taken. \u201cI\u2019m thinking of the brave American soldiers killed today\u201d, Senator Chris Van Hollen, a proponent of the resolution, posted on X on Sunday. \u201cThey should still be with us. Trump said he would keep us out of war. This is his war of choice\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A vote on the resolution is expected early this week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
