REPORT: Poll Finds Overwhelming Support for Israeli Strikes—and for Trump’s Response—Among MAGA Base

6

From the Washington Free Beacon: President Donald Trump’s voters overwhelmingly support Israel’s military campaign against Iran, according to a new poll that found 83 percent of those voters support the strikes on Tehran’s nuclear program and 95 percent approve of Trump as the president rallies behind the Jewish state.

A GrayHouse poll conducted shortly after Israel began its war effort shows that 67 percent of those who voted for Trump “strongly support” the attack on Tehran’s nuclear facilities, while another 16 percent said they somewhat approve. Trump’s approval among MAGA voters has risen since he lent support to the Israeli operation: Seventy-five percent say they strongly approve of the president’s job performance, while another 20 percent say they somewhat approve.

Those results are slightly better for Trump than his approval ratings just a few days before Israel’s campaign, when a League of American Workers poll conducted from June 9 to 11 put Trump’s approval rating at 88 percent among his own voters.

The results show little daylight between Trump and his supporters across America, even as prominent Republican isolationist voices like Tucker Carlson publicly break with the president. Trump signaled on Tuesday afternoon that the United States is likely to join the fight, saying in a Truth Social post “we now have complete and total control of the skies over Iran.”

Landon Wall at Grayhouse announced in a post on X Monday:

Our new national polling of Trump 2024 voters shows overwhelming support for Israel’s actions against Iran and strong backing for a major U.S. role:

• 73% say Iran cannot be trusted to honor any diplomatic agreement
• 72% support direct U.S. military action if necessary to stop Iran from developing nuclear weapons
• 83% support Israel’s preemptive strikes on Iranian nuclear and military sites
• 79% support the U.S. sending offensive weapons to aid Israeli operations
• 91% favor providing intelligence to assist Israel’s defense
• 89% are very or somewhat concerned about Iran obtaining nuclear weapons

Polls on how Americans view President Trump’s performance sometimes appear to all depend on who’s doing the polling.

Rasmussen Reports’ daily presidential tracking poll showed Trump with a 52% approval rating on Tuesday, compared to a 47% disapproval rating.

Meanwhile, a Pew Research poll shows Trump with a 41% approval rating, and a 58% disapproval rating.
