The American public is increasingly critical of President Donald Trump’s handling of Iran after he ordered the US military to kill top Iranian commander Qassem Soleimani, a Reuters/Ipsos poll released on Tuesday finds.
The poll also found that a majority of US adults now expect the countries to be at war in the near future.
The national opinion poll found that 53% of adults in the US disapprove of Trump’s handling of Iran, an increase of about 9 percentage points from a similar poll in the middle of December.
The number of adults who “strongly disapprove” of Trump’s actions in Iran – 39% – is up 10 points from the December poll.
The response was largely split along party lines, with disapproval up over the past month among Democrats and independents, while it did not change among Republicans.
About nine in 10 Democrats and five in 10 independents disapprove of Trump’s actions in Iran, the poll found. Among Republicans, one in 10 disapprove. One in 10 Democrats, four in 10 independents and eight in 10 Republicans approve of Trump’s handling of Iran.
The survey ran January 6-7, shortly after Trump ordered the drone strike in Iraq that hit Soleimani. Iraq’s parliament called for American troops to withdraw from the country, and mourners in Iran crowded onto the streets, chanting “Death to America!”

Oh bull sh*t!
I didn’t look at this polls breakdown, but I’ll guarentee they over sampled Democrats!
Once again our Leftist media trying to shape public opinion!
..and Hillary still has a 98% chance of winning in 2016 . .
And now it’s being reported that Al Asad airbase in Iraq is under missile attack from Iran
Polls? They're slanted to favor leftist liberals, so who cares.
Oh.
Al Reuters was polling “adults”? Quelle surprise!
“The poll also found that a majority of US adults now expect the countries to be at war in the near future.”
This was not a poll of voters; much less likely voters. It is not totally clear the poll was of American citizens.
A question for the media and for the Democrat Party. The need to declare their allegiance, are they on the side of the United States or on they on the side of Iran? If they say nothing, that would be a clear indication that they are on the side of Iran, that certainly is the way they are behaving right now.
Polls are designed to mold public opinion, not measure it.
That’s why they’re always wrong.
Iran has been at war with us for 40 years.
A useless poll. They should have polled the citizens of Soleimani's home town, that would have provided a better result.
That’s a rhetorical question. They’ve been quick to side with our enemies for two decades now, and it’s only getting worse.
fake poll
fake news
Fake paper
A poll of nasty Portland hipsters and antifa thugs...
Obunghole voters. Pansies and defeatists. By the way, we haven’t yet heard from Jimmah Cahtuh, who started the whole problem with Iran.
More than rhetorical. You are correct, they have hated America for more than 20 years, but we can and should demand that they declare what side they are on.
Oh bullshite
Ditto on bullshit
Fake poll. Several thousand American families of the dead or wounded were not part of that poll.
