A large majority of US Republicans — 85% — back the US strikes against Iran, according to a CBS News poll.
A majority of 87% of Democrats and 64% of Independents disapprove of the strikes, the poll says.
Overall, 56% of respondents disapprove and 44% approve.
The survey says so-called MAGA Republicans overwhelmingly back the strikes, with 94% in favor and only six percent opposed, but the report does not say how it defined that group.
Respondents were split about the Trump administration’s handling of Iran, with 49% expressing confidence and 51% saying they did not have confidence in the administration.
The YouGov polling firm carried out the survey for CBS. The poll queried 1,720 US adults earlier this week, after the US strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities, but before the Israel-Iran ceasefire. The margin of error is 3 points.
