- Half of all Americans believe that the United States will go to war with Iran “within the next few years,” according to a Reuters/Ipsos public opinion poll released on Tuesday amid increased tensions between the two countries.
Historically tense relations between Washington and Tehran worsened in May after U.S. President Donald Trump hardened his anti-Iran stance and restored all sanctions on Iranian oil exports following his decision a year ago to pull the United States out of a 2015 international nuclear accord with Tehran.
The survey showed that 51% of adults felt that the United States and Iran would go to war within the next few years, up 8 percentage points from a similar poll published last June. In this year’s poll, Democrats and Republicans were both more likely to see Iran as a threat and to say war was likely. If Iran attacked, however, 79% said that the U.S. military should retaliate: 40% favored a limited response with airstrikes, while 39% favored a full invasion.
Cmkahn You and your mom don’t count
Cmkahn Hmmm...are these the same pollsters who so accurately predicted the recent election in Australia?
Cmkahn When will US ever stop killing millions of innocent people the world over Korea, Vietnam, Iraq etc etc etc and soon Iran in playing politics domestically and internationally. Trillions spent on wars. Ever wondered why US has 21 Trillion debts and China has 3 Trillion reserves.
Cmkahn Thats just down party lines. So... No news.
Cmkahn 4 out of 5 dentist recommend flossing... that 51% of people approving of how trump is handling this must have gone to the same school as 20% of dentists in this country.
Cmkahn So it's 51% APPROVED. See how this clown played with words to undermine the approval ratings.
Cmkahn Yes we are all friends!
Cmkahn Half of all Americans a. Don’t like Trump, and b. Understand little if anything about trade with China. So c. Half of all Americans don’t like anything Trump does including trade deals they know nothing about.
Cmkahn The Dems still hanging on polls. One would think after the last election, the word 'polls' would never leave their mouths. If the polls say 51% agree, guess what? It's more than that.
Cmkahn Damn shame populism is how we're getting mired in deeper shit every day. And it won't stop once this puppet is gone.
Cmkahn Iran,you can live in there.why u don’t want to live in there? It’s terrible,so bad.
Cmkahn I approve....
Cmkahn I call BS
Cmkahn I think the ppl should be aware of the fact a lot of problems Trump says Iran is responsible for is just an ongoing exaggeration of lies. He had a lot of military hardware go down to that area. Yet, he keeps saying he doesn’t want a confrontation w/ Iran.
Cmkahn Iran has no hostility with the American ppl. They aren't also a security threat to the UnitedStates. Iran didn't break its promises under the IranDeal agreement. It is warmongers (SecPompeo & AmbJohnBolton ) who are forcing the U.S towards an unnecessary War.
Cmkahn So basically democrats.
Cmkahn More than half approves! Probably more like 60-70% approve if you actually polled people. No one contacted me so this poll is false since it didn't get ALL Americans! fakenews biased falseinformation didntaskme
Cmkahn He is business gink, he will fall back with empty hands from Persian_gulf but he will squeeze Arabs routed leaders first.
Cmkahn Suprised it’s not considerably higher as I’d venture to guess, the vast majority haven’t got a clue what’s going on.
Cmkahn Reuter’s has “no” idea how many Americans approve or disapprove of our president. These Polls are false & misleading. ❌
Cmkahn So, 51% approve?
Cmkahn Perhaps they would support the US paying Iran a few billion instead.
Cmkahn Hoy ha sido un de esos días en que el mundo quiere ver al presidente Trump renunciar, linchado Muchos videso y twitts que lo ponen peor que al mismo diablo No repito lo que dicen Pero en serio exageran Cualquier otro ya hubiera lanzado una ofenciva militar inecesaríia
Cmkahn That means 51% agree with it
Cmkahn Hilarious. It doesn’t matter what the question, the answer is nearly half of all Americans ...
Cmkahn Dems should say how scary it is that half think he’s doing a good job with Iran.
Cmkahn So 51% of the US is stupid or ignorant....
Cmkahn I just asked 10 people... ur wrong
Cmkahn And more than half approve!! WTF is wrong with people!
Cmkahn Should be 94% disapproval
Cmkahn should be way higher - recount
Cmkahn We should all brace for the day he declares war via tweet because it’s coming folks. It’s his only plan for re-election.
Cmkahn 53% of people disapprove of him in general. Is it shocking that half disapprove on this issue?
Cmkahn El está haciendo lo que pueda para que se den cuenta que la nación hay que respetarla.
Cmkahn I think you need a bigger sample population for your survey. My bet is it would be more. What is the strength of these statistics?
Cmkahn looks like proper math to me since half are republican, half dems!
Cmkahn I don't get any of it and then the percentage is it really that deep but are they trying to fool us, like this facebook scam on freedom of speech!
Cmkahn I wonder if 49% of Americans can point to Iran on a map.
