From our poll conducted Sunday-Monday: President Trump's decision to launch airstrikes against Iran is broadly unpopular with Americans www.cnn.com/2025/06/24/p...
Series of bar charts showing that, in a new CNN poll conducted by SSRS, Americans disapprove, 56% to 44%, of the recent U.S. air strikes against Iran, with most Democrats and independents disapproving and most Republicans disapproving. The poll also finds that Americans say, 58% to 27%, that this military action will make Iran more of a threat to the US, with fewer than half saying they trust President Trump to make the right decisions on use of force in Iran.
