The conflict follows weeks of rising tensions as President Donald Trump repeatedly threatened to attack Iran if negotiations over its nuclear and missile development programs fail.
Some 27% of respondents said they approved of the strikes, while a majority said they were either unsure about them (29%) or said they disapproved of the military action (43%).
The two-day poll, which ended on Sunday, Mar. 1, also found about half of respondents − 56% − believe President Trump is too willing to use military force to advance U.S. interests. Trump has also ordered strikes in Venezuela, Syria and Nigeria in recent months. The vast majority of Democrats, 87%, held this view, as did 23% of Republicans and 60% of people who don’t identify with either political party.
The poll surveyed 1,282 U.S. adults nationwide and has a margin of error of ± three percentage points.
