In the nearly three weeks since President Donald Trump struck Iran, conventional wisdom has set in that his base is sticking with him on the war.
It’s true that Trump’s base hasn’t ditched him in huge numbers — and an overwhelming number of MAGA supporters, especially, say they support the war. The opposition from the likes of Tucker Carlson, Marjorie Taylor Greene, Megyn Kelly and other influencers hasn’t translated to wide swaths of the GOP base itself.
But Trump has alienated some significant portions of his base, and he’s risking alienating more.
A fresh batch of polling in recent days reinforces that.
The focus of these analyses has often been self-described MAGA voters. In most polls, about 9 in 10 of them support the war.
But that shouldn’t be too surprising, given these people are quite literally the ones who identify themselves as supporters of Trump’s political movement.
When you expand the universe to all Republicans and, even more broadly, to 2024 Trump voters, the numbers aren’t nearly as sterling for the president.
A new Reuters-Ipsos poll, for instance, shows 21% of Republicans disapprove of the war. (Americans overall disapprove 59%-37%.)

How many times do you have to hear "Death To America"..before it sinks in?
CNN lies
Stupid chic conservative annoying person Candace Owens and Nazi lover Tucker Carlson do not equal a ‘base.’
You are such a loser.
Hahaha.
add this to the list of CNN conspiracies recently posted...
As usual, CNN is doing the work of the mullah’s. I’m fully in support of “Trump’s War” in Iran. It should have been done by Carter or Reagan or......
Trump-Vance 49.70%, Harris-Walz 48.23%. Lose a little bit of the base and you lose the elections and the country.
More CNN CRAP! Why post this?
The MAGA newbies got spoiled by how we handled Maduro.
As usual, CNN is doing the work of the mullah’s. I’m fully in support of “Trump’s War” in Iran. It should have been done by Carter or Reagan or......
And Trump is up for reelection when?🤔
Do you really take CNN seriously? They produce nothing but leftist propaganda.
Crap Not News
“How many times do you have to hear “Death To America”..before it sinks in?”
“Death to America” is one of the foundations of
the Democrat party. We fought a civil war
over it. Democrat South vs Republican North.
That war wasn’t about slavery it was about
ideology and economics.
Compassionate Lincoln, didn’t finish the war
he just kicked the can down the road to us, today.
Now we have the same divide.
Democrats vs. Americans.
And Harris-Walz have done SO much to add to their base since the election...
Here are the choices:
Stop them and get rid of them
Let it be and get out your burkas
Or realize it’s us or them and they want us dead.
Those are your choices.
CNN ….so the truth is mostly likely the exact opposite
Looks like it may be necessary to take out the complete IRGC.
