New CNN poll shows rising disapproval of US war with Iran

A new CNN poll released Wednesday shows 66 percent of Americans disapprove of U.S. military action against Iran, marking a 7-percentage-point increase in disapproval since the conflict began. The survey captures public sentiment ahead of President Trump's address on the conflict, reflecting growing resistance to the military campaign among the American public. Rising disapproval of a major military operation typically constrains policy options for a sitting administration and can influence Congress's willingness to authorize continued military spending or operations. The data suggests the conflict has not rallied sustained public support despite initial military engagement, a dynamic that typically matters for long-term strategy and domestic political sustainability.
