US popular support for military aggression against Iran at lowest level: Poll
Popular support among Americans for military aggression by the US against Iran has fallen to its lowest level since late February, when the United States and the Israeli regime launched their latest unprovoked war on the Islamic Republic, a poll shows.
According to the Reuters/Ipsos poll released on Monday, 31 percent of Americans said they supported the aggression, down from 37 percent in March and 34 percent earlier this month. The decline was also evident among Republican respondents, with support falling to 69 percent from 77 percent in March.
The aggression has also weighed down on President Donald Trump’s public standing, the poll indicated.
For the second consecutive Reuters/Ipsos survey, only 33 percent of respondents said they approved of Trump’s performance as president. That figure matches the lowest approval rating recorded for Trump in the polling series across his first and second terms.
Immediately after the launch of the aggression, Iran began targeting sensitive and strategic hostile targets across the region with ballistic and hypersonic missiles as well as attack drones.
By April 7, the Islamic Republic had launched at least 100 waves of retaliatory strikes, prompting Trump to announce a unilateral ceasefire.

The United States repeatedly violates the ceasefire and later a bilateral memorandum of understanding, only to be faced with continued uncompromising Iranian reprisal.
The poll also showed a growing expectation among Americans that the confrontation will continue for an extended period. Eighty-three percent of respondents said they believed it would last for some time, compared with 80 percent earlier this month.
The survey also found that independent voters currently preferred Democrats over Republicans when asked which party they would support in a congressional election, a telling implication for the US midterm elections in November. Among independents, 33 percent said they would vote for a Democrat, while 19 percent said they would choose a Republican.
The survey questioned 1,215 adults across the United States over four days. Its margin of error was three percentage points in either direction.
