New Poll Levels That Dem/Media Narrative About Operation Epic Fury

Democrats and liberal media have been all in trying to disparage Operation Epic Fury against Iran.

If you listened to them, you would think we were being destroyed and were losing, despite the unparalleled success of the military operation.

It's legitimate to ask questions. You can reasonably have concerns or maybe be against the actions now. What isn't reasonable is pushing out false stories to undermine our effort and essentially help provide propaganda that could benefit Iran.

Then the public has to wade through that and evaluate what they think, rather than just assessing the facts. Which, of course, is why Democrats/liberal media are doing that.

But a new poll is putting paid to the Democratic narrative that people don't support the effort.

And when they were reminded of "Iran’s long record of hostility toward the United States," the support for the action was even stronger.

After hearing that context, voters were asked whether they agreed with the statement:
“The United States military actions against Iran and the leadership of the Iranian regime were necessary and warranted to protect American lives today and in the future.”
A clear majority — 57% of likely voters — agreed, while only 33% disagreed.
Support was particularly strong among voters planning to support Republican candidates for Congress, where agreement reached 87%, compared with just 7% who disagreed.
Even among voters still undecided about their congressional vote, the statement won majority support at 51% to 29%.

Among independents, 46 percent agreed it was necessary, compared to 40 percent who disagreed.

The sample is 1000 voters between March 2 and March 9. It's likely voters, so those are probably the folks more likely to show up to vote in the midterms.

On top of that, there's a separate Rasmussen poll that shows 61 percent view the action as successful so far.

The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone and online survey finds that 61% of Likely U.S. Voters say that, based on what they know, the military operation against Iran has been successful so far, including 35% who consider it Very Successful. Twenty-nine percent (29%) don’t consider the Iran war successful so far, including 12% who see it as Not At All Successful. Eleven percent (11%) are not sure.

Sounds like the Democrat/liberal media narrative on the operation might be failing. The American public clearly gets the 47-year history of issues, and they're looking for a resolution, according to McLaughlin.
