Recent polls show that more Americans are in favor of the U.S. military actions against Iran since the conflict began.

A Washington Post poll that asked 1,005 respondents regarding the “U.S. military campaign against Iran” found that 42% of Americans support the action, while 40% oppose it, and 17% remain unsure.

In comparison, when people were asked shortly after the strikes began on Feb. 28 if they supported “President Trump ordering airstrikes against Iran,” 39% supported the effort while 52% opposed them and 9% were unsure.

Fox News reported an even split among Americans regarding U.S. military action against Iran, with 50% in favor and 50% opposed.

While analyzing the two polls, CNN reported that the Fox News poll may have yielded different results because the question did not mention Trump.

CNN also said that five of seven “high quality” polls, including one of its own, showed that most Americans oppose the Iran conflict.

Fox News discovered that 51% think Trump’s handling of Iran has made the U.S. less safe, while 29% say the president has made the U.S. safer.

By 53% to 46%, more Americans think the military actions will not contribute to the long-term security of the U.S., the Washington Post found.

A Quinnipiac University poll reported that 47% of voters believe the Iran conflict would make the U.S. “less safe,” while 34% said it will make America more safe.
