Iran war splits older and younger conservatives - as pressure builds for Trump to find exit ramp

BBC News · back to the audit

A majority of the American public, polls suggest, have been against the ongoing US-Israeli military campaign in Iran from the day it started. While 79% of Republicans approve of how the president is handling the war, only 49% strongly approve. That number drops to 22% among those who 'lean' Republican. The age gap is also visible in Pew's results. While 84% of Republicans say they back Trump's war conduct, only 49% of those aged 18 to 29 feel that way.
