The poll by The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research was taken about two weeks after the Jan. 3 strike that killed Gen. Qassem Soleimani in Iraq.

Vast majority support it -- there are shallow partisan morons who don't want to be seen given President Trump credit. Thanks Olog-hai. Another recent partisan media shill hit piece is here:

I think 30% who oppose is way too much, who did they survey? CNN’s news room?

Never underestimate the hatred of Trump coming from the left. Even if it is something positive for this country, they are going to state (and probably believe) otherwise.

No, 41% approve and most of the 29% who have no opinion approve but are afraid to say so. My guess is about 30% or a bit more are clueless or brainwashed.

Beats me.

I just noticed the two 'poll' threads next to each other in the side bar.
