US EditionMost Americans see Iran as an enemy but doubt Trump’s judgment on military force, AP-NORC poll finds
An AP-NORC poll shows 61% of Americans view Iran as an enemy while only about 30% trust Trump’s military judgment, reflecting widespread concern amid rising tensions.
- Feb. 19-23 AP-NORC polling shows 61% of U.S. adults say Iran is an 'enemy' as talks in Geneva resume.
- Rising enrichment levels and inspection refusals mean about half of U.S. adults are extremely or very concerned that Iran's nuclear program poses a direct threat, with Iran enriching uranium up to 60% purity before the June war while refusing International Atomic Energy Agency inspections.
- Only about 3 in 10 U.S. adults trust President Donald Trump’s judgment on military force and adversaries, with about 6 in 10 Republicans but roughly 9 in 10 Democrats expressing high and low trust respectively.
- Amid rising tensions, the U.S. assembled its largest Mideast military force, Iran said it would respond with an attack, and Trump claimed to have 'obliterated' Iran's program following the 12-day war.
- Younger Americans are less worried about Iran, with about half under 45 calling it an 'enemy' compared to 7 in 10 older Americans; the Trump administration held two rounds of talks this year, with a third scheduled Thursday under Omani mediation.
