“Public wants the Iran action ended (49-35%).”

A single speech when coupled with a high profile event could reverse those numbers.

Not even a majority is opposed.

And you know that because the captive pollsters told you so.

I don't think the decision to wage with Iran was the right choice at the right time. However, we are in it, and the President must recognize that if the United States is going to win, defined as opening the Strait of Hormuz, eliminating the ability of Iran to develop nuclear weapons and delivery systems, and toppling the Tehran regime, we must go all out. That means massive ground troops and sending the fleet into the Persian Gulf. The Saudis, the Israelis, and the Gulf States must pitch in to assist in a land invasion. This will mean the loss of thousands of American military men and the destruction of capital ships. Trump must pursue this war to victory, even if the Republicans lose both houses of Congress and a majority of the state legislatures. At this point, he has a narrow window that closes on January 3, 2027, assuming the Democrats control Congress.

Trump has to take the risk, as not opening the Persian Gulf will serve to drive up energy costs, as our strategic reserves are draining down rapidly. The Ukrainians are doing a good job in destroying Russia's oil infrastructure, which limits their export ability. The Houthis are attempting to shut off the Red Sea, denying the Saudis their back door for exporting oil and natural gas. Trump must appeal to American patriotism and our ability to defeat our foes in the World Wars and the Cold War.

EVERYBODY wants it ended. But we want it done right so we aren’t back at it in a year.

1) It’s Alex Jones.
2) As someone who has followed Mark on X for a couple of years, his polling went totally off the rails with Iran, and has been shown to be wrong.
3) NONE of the bad polling correlates (and hasn’t correlated for over 18 MONTHS) to the continued, nearly relentless Republican voter registration gains in almost every state. Yes, those have slowed, finally (Impossible to continue at that rate anyway) but this is largely associated in NV, PA, NC with primaries. NC now is back to being back and forth-—Ds gain 100 net, Rs gain 100 net. But overall, every state is now redder than it was just 18 months ago. In AZ EVERY COUNTY moved to the right. NC saw a gigantic D lead in 2020 evaporate to a 10k R lead but a 115 active voter lead. PA saw its D lead go from over 1 million in 2016 to about 140,000-—but in active voters Ds now only have about a 60k lead. Astonishing.

Bottom line. NO POLLING is reflecting this.
