🎯IMPACT: The survey suggests the public believes President Donald J. Trump’s strikes on Iran are succeeding, but also reveals increasing skepticism toward American relations with Israel.
A new voter survey released by Rasmussen Reports has found that nearly two-thirds of American voters see President Donald J. Trump‘s authorization of U.S. military operations against the Islamic Republic of Iran as successful. According to the poll, 61 percent of likely American voters believe Operation Epic Fury has been successful so far, with 35 percent of respondents rating the strikes as “Very Successful.”
“The ongoing U.S. war against Iran is viewed as a success by most voters, although many have doubts about America’s military alliance with Israel,” Rasmussen Reports said of the poll, which was conducted between March 8 and 10, surveying 1,098 likely U.S. voters.
Twenty-nine percent of likely voters surveyed said they do not consider the military operation as successful, including 12 percent who describe the strikes as “Not At All Successful.” An additional 11 percent remain unsure about the operation’s effectiveness.
Meanwhile, the data found that a majority of likely voters neither see the U.S. alliance with Israel as good nor as bad for America. According to the survey, just 44 percent of respondents said the alliance is good for the United States, while 36 percent said it is not good. Notably, 20 percent said they were unsure.
The view of U.S.-Israeli relations becomes more stark when broken down along partisan identification. Rasmussen Reports found that just 26 percent of Democrats view the alliance as good for America, while 53 percent said it is bad. Among Republicans, 70 percent said the alliance with Israel is good for the U.S., while just 19 percent said it is bad. Independent voters split nearly evenly on the issue, with 38 percent saying it is good, and 35 percent describing the alliance as bad for America.
