Americans think Trump will send ground troops to Iran and don't support it, Reuters/Ipsos poll finds
A Reuters/Ipsos poll finds 65% expect troop deployment to Iran but only 7% support a large-scale ground war amid concerns over casualties, costs, and economic impact.

- Amid these splits, 'The cracks are beginning to show in President Donald Trump’s base', wrote Kelley Beaucar Vlahos, with the poll administered via Ipsos's KnowledgePanel and a margin of sampling error plus or minus 3.55 percentage points .
