New poll delivers brutal verdict on Trump’s Iran war: not worth it
NJ.com ^ | Jul. 30, 2026 | Manny Gómez

Posted on 07/30/2026 7:30:56 AM PDT by Trump20162020

Two-thirds of Americans believe the war in Iran has not been worth fighting.

A new AP-NORC poll found that roughly two-thirds of U.S. adults say the war that began Feb. 28 is not worthwhile. The sentiment is shared by the vast majority of Democrats (87%) and independents (68%), as well as 37% of Republicans.

The AP-NORC poll, conducted July 23-27, surveyed 1,165 adults and has a margin of sampling error of plus or minus 3.7 percentage points.

We simply need to keep pushing back.....Trump didn’t start the war, Iran did. They were a week away from having nukes and were bragging about using it.

Let’s be clear, Iran started this.......in 1979.

2/3rds of Americans have no idea how powerful a nuclear bomb is and how crazy the Iranians are.

And this is why a representative government is necessary.

Probably isn’t worth this much unless you win. That means the regime is gone.

“””Let’s be clear, Iran started this.......in 1979.””””

And I have listened to every President since then say something needs to be done about it. None of them did anything except talk about it. Once again civilian Trump has to clean up the mess created by politicians.

Iran is a state-sponsor of terrorism. Eliminating their nuclear weapons is a worthy goal, as is weakening their military.

Neither of those things is remotely true.

Nothing fake about it.

You'd know this if you ever left your safe space.

The CIA started this in 1953.

Let's be clear, not once did Trump, during his first term, say that Iran is at war with the United States.

Other than the assassination of Qasem Soleimani, how did Trump during his first term prosecute this war that you claim has been going on since 1979?

You’d have to believe the poll first of all.....personally I do not.

This is just more propaganda pushed by the left to damage President Trump’s agenda IMO.

Me suspects Manny Gómez is full of sht.

Posted by the usual suspects(s), I see.

I am only surprised it wasn’t RandFan or Miami Rebel posting comment from the New York Times, CNN, or Mediaite.

Of course, I see the other usual suspects who insist, even after the Iranians admitted it publicly, that Iran doesn’t have any weapons-grade fissile material.

From their own little TDS bubbles they inhabit.

“37% of Republicans”

At this point, Republicans is all that matters. Who cares what Democrats think? They’ll ALWAYS disapprove of anything a Republican does.

If Iranian proxies blow up DC, Iran can say it has bombs in Chicago, LA, SF, NYC, Miami, Dallas, and Boston if the US even thinks of retaliating.

U-235 bombs, unlike plutonium bombs, can’t be detected in advance. The U-235 can be smuggled in just like recreation drugs have been for decades.

There’s a reason Iran is going the very difficult multi-bomb U-235 route.

There’s a reason Vance chose to move to Middleburg, and it isn’t a love for horses.

Congress needs to support Trump and Hegseth because DC is Iranian target #1 or target #2.

Democrats in Congress need to support Trump and Hegseth because DC is Iranian target #1 or target #2.

Republicans in Congress need to support Trump and Hegseth because DC is Iranian target #1 or target #2.
