The new Reuters/Ipsos weekly online poll of 1,272 American adults was conducted from March 20 to 23, and has a margin of error of 3 percentage points.
The poll discovered that 35% of Americans approve of the U.S. strikes on Iran, down from 37% in a similar poll conducted last week. Those figures remain higher than the first Reuters/Ipsos poll related to the war in Iran, conducted from February 28 to March 1. That poll found 27% of Americans approved of the strikes, 43% disapproved, and 29% were unsure at the time.
Overall, about 61% of those polled disapproved of the strikes, an increase from 59% who disapproved of the strikes from last week's poll.
Despite Trump's declining overall popularity, 38% of registered voters polled said Republicans had better stewardship of the U.S. economy, compared to 34% of voters who picked Democrats on the topic.

(4,398 posts)harm this fiasco is causing -- read here, gas prices way up -- but the same respondents think Republicans, who could stop this thing if they really tried, and are all set to throw $200 billion more into the stove, have a better handle on the economy?
Polls make no sense much of the time.

(76,625 posts)What I noticed is that economy stewardship was 38 R/34 D.
That means 28% of people don't see either as better or worse than the other.
An obvious messaging opportunity for dems.
