Most Americans disapprove of President Trump\u2019s decision to bomb three Iranian nuclear sites, according to a CNN\/SSRS poll conducted<\/a> in the two days following the strikes.<\/p>\n

In the survey, released Tuesday, 56 percent of Americans say they disapprove, and 44 percent say they approve, of the U.S. “decision to take military action in Iran<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n

Party affiliation splits public sentiment.<\/p>\n

Republicans are largely supportive \u2014 with 82 percent approving and 18 percent disapproving. Those numbers are flipped among Democrats, 88 percent of whom disapprove and 12 percent of whom approve of the strikes.<\/p>\n

Most independents don\u2019t support the strikes, with 60 percent disapproving and 40 percent approving.<\/p>\n

Just more than half of Americans say they don\u2019t trust in Trump \u201cto make right decisions on use of force in Iran\u201d \u2014 with 38 percent trusting Trump \u201cnot at all\u201d and 17 percent trusting Trump \u201cnot much.\u201d Twenty-three percent of Americans say they trust Trump \u201cmoderately,\u201d and 22 percent say they trust Trump a \u201cgreat deal.\u201d<\/p>\n

While there has been some public chatter about a fracturing in Trump\u2019s base, the poll shows Republicans still largely trust Trump\u2019s judgment on Iran.<\/p>\n

A majority of Republicans, 51 percent, say they have a \u201cgreat deal\u201d of trust in Trump to make the right decisions on use of force in Iran, while 37 percent say they \u201cmoderately\u201d trust Trump\u2019s decisions on the issue. Only 8 percent of the GOP say they have \u201cnot much\u201d trust in Trump\u2019s decisionmaking, and 5 percent say they trust Trump \u201cnot at all\u201d on the issue.<\/p>\n

Nearly three-quarters of Democrats, at 71 percent, do \u201cnot at all\u201d trust Trump to make the right decisions on use of force in Iran, while 17 percent say they trust Trump “not much,” 9 percent say \u201cmoderately,\u201d and 3 percent say a \u201cgreat deal.\u201d<\/p>\n

Independents are less optimistic than Americans overall about Trump\u2019s ability to make the right decisions about use of force in Iran. Nearly two-thirds say they either have do \u201cnot at all\u201d trust Trump, at 39 percent, or have  \u201cnot much\u201d trust in Trump, at 23 percent, to make decisions.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, 23 percent say they \u201cmoderately\u201d trust Trump, and 15 percent say they trust Trump a \u201cgreat deal.\u201d<\/p>\n

The survey was conducted before the president announced both sides had agreed to a ceasefire<\/a>, which remains on shaky ground<\/a> after Israel accused Iran of violating the agreement and vowed retaliation. Trump reamed both sides for bombing each other and urged Israel against taking further action, subsequently announcing that Israel agreed and that the ceasefire remained in effect.<\/p>\n

But, before the ceasefire, a majority of Americans, at 58 percent, said the military action will make Iran \u201cmore of a threat to U.S.,\u201d while 27 percent said \u201cless of a threat to U.S.\u201d and 15 percent said neither.<\/p>\n

The survey was conducted June 22-23, with 1,030 respondents. The margin of error is 3.5 percentage points.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
