Donald Trump faces deep public skepticism about Iran war ahead of White House speech, CNN poll finds
Public skepticism over Iran is high, with 71% opposing $200 billion in new spending and 68% against ground troops, as doubts grow about the war's costs and purpose.
- On Wednesday, a CNN/SSRS poll found that only one-third of Americans believe President Donald Trump has a clear plan for Iran, underscoring deep skepticism ahead of his White House address on the conflict.
- Financial and human toll concerns are rising, with only 29% of Americans believing the Iran mission has been worth its cost, a stark contrast to 2003 when 59% supported the Iraq war.
- A 71% majority opposes Congress authorizing $200 billion for further military operations, while 68% of Americans oppose sending ground troops into Iran.
- Sharp partisan divisions persist: 94% of Democrats and 74% of independents disapprove of military action, though Republicans identifying with the 'Make America Great Again' movement remain Trump's strongest backers.
- Trump's approval rating for handling the Iran situation stands at 33%, near his presidential low, as 6 in 10 Americans say he has gone too far expanding America's power globally.
