‘Significant chunk' of US Republicans do not support Tucker Carlson's view on Iran conflict
Centre of the American Experiment President John Hinderaker says conservative commentator Tucker Carlson is not a true reflection of the wider Republican Party's view on the conflict in Iran. J.L. Partners conducted a survey which showed 81 per cent of MAGA republicans support Israel's strikes against Iran. 'I don't think there is much of a split in the MAGA movement on this Iran issue,' Mr Hinderaker told Sky News host James Macpherson. 'The idea that there is a significant chunk of the Republican Party that is isolationist or passivist or anti-Israel is just wrong. 'A guy like Tucker Carlson does not speak for any significant number of Republicans or MAGA believers on this issue.'

The week in whoppers: The NY Times dreams of a MAGA ‘uproar' over Trump, Rep. Ilhan Omar slurs America and more
Diary of disturbing disinformation and dangerous delusions This story: 'Trump's Base in Uproar Over His Openness to Joining Iran Fight' — The New York Times, Wednesday We say: Sorry, Gray Lady, but a new poll by J.L. Partners shows 'MAGA Republicans' overwhelmingly support US strikes on Iran — indeed, by more than 3-1. Just 19% oppose them. The Times may be drooling at the thought of MAGA ditching President Donald Trump if he joins Israel's attack, or maybe even getting him to stand down. But in real life, folks from Trump's 'base' are sticking with him — and are far from the isolationists the Times pretends. This charge: '[America is being] turned into one of the worst countries.' — Rep. Ilhan Omar (D), Tuesday We say: Omar fumed over Trump's use of the military to quell violence in Los Angeles and his parade for the Army's 250th anniversary. Even in dictatorial Somalia, her native country, she said, she couldn't recall 'anything like that.' Get opinions and commentary from our columnists Subscribe to our daily Post Opinion newsletter!

Clearly her family knew enough to come to America, and 'worst country' or not, don't expect her to go back any time soon. This tweet: We say: Huh? What exactly did the No Kings silliness accomplish, besides letting lefties stew in their Trump-derangement fever swamps? Yes, many Trump-haters turned out; activism, after all, is the left's forte. Yet as replies to the tweet joked, America has precisely the same number of 'kings' today as it had before: zero. This Claim: 'It's not our job [as reporters] to be objective.' — Ex-ABC correspondent Terry Moran, Monday We say: Moran, who ABC fired for savagely bashing Trump aide Stephen Miller as a 'world-class hater,' is basically admitting he (and other reporters) are biased. Wow, what honesty! Yes, reporters can have opinions, but their private views shouldn't be allowed to distort supposedly 'objective' news stories. Oh, and Moran's later claim that he's 'not that liberal' is a whopper in itself: Never mind his longtime record; his hit on Miller alone shows just where he stands. — Compiled by The Post Editorial Board

US Support For Donald Trump Attacking Iran Revealed in Polls
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. As President Donald Trump ramps up his calls for Iran's "unconditional surrender" and hints at direct U.S. military involvement, a clear partisan divide is emerging among Americans over how far the country should go in backing Israel's escalating conflict with Iran. Why It Matters The growing partisan divide over how the U.S. should respond to escalating tensions between Israel and Iran reflects not only the stakes of potential military involvement but also the shifting contours of American foreign policy under President Trump. While most Americans agree that Iran poses a serious threat, sharp differences over how to address it—particularly among Trump's Republican and MAGA base—could shape the administration's next moves. With public anxiety about Iran's nuclear ambitions rising, and Trump signaling a willingness to escalate, the path the U.S. chooses could determine not just the future of Middle East stability, but the role America plays in global conflicts. What To Know A majority of Americans view Iran as a serious national security threat, polls show. According to the latest Fox News poll, conducted between June 13-16 among 1,003 registered voters, 73 percent think Iran poses a real threat to the U.S., a 13-point increase from six years ago. That includes a majority of Democrats (69 percent), Republicans (82 percent), and Independents (62 percent), and those numbers are up since 2019 (by 12, 17, and 4 points respectively), says Fox News. The latest J.L. Partners poll, conducted between June 16-17 among 1,039 registered voters, shows similar levels of support. According to the poll, Americans overwhelmingly see Iran as a serious threat: 73 percent say Iran having nuclear missiles would be a serious threat to the U.S. and it cannot be allowed. Only one in ten say it would not be a serious threat (10 percent).

Evan Vucci/AP And there is broad support for that view across every group in American society—every age, region, and race—including 63 percent of Democrats, 88 percent of Republicans, and 70 percent of Independents. Self-described 'MAGA Republicans' agree, by 88 percent to 6 percent, says the J.L. Partners poll. Similarly, the latest Echelon Insights poll, conducted between June 17-18 among 1,002 likely voters, shows that 69 percent of voters think that Iran is either a major or minor threat to the U.S. Only 17 percent of voters think it is not threat at all. But while most voters agree Iran is a serious national security threat across party lines, support for Trump's aggressive stance—including potential military strikes—is being driven largely by Republicans, particularly his MAGA base. According to Echelon Insights, 45 percent of voters support Israel's strikes on Iran, while 35 percent are opposed. Asked what role the U.S. should play, only 8 percent favor joining Israel in military attacks, while 41 percent want America to stay completely out. Another 40 percent support limited involvement through diplomacy or defense. The Fox News poll shows that Americans are nearly evenly split on whether to support Israel's recent airstrikes on Iranian nuclear facilities, with 49 percent approving and 46 percent disapproving. Approval among Republicans stands at 73 percent, more than double that of Democrats and Independents, both at 32 percent. But despite that backing, most Americans are wary of the consequences. Fifty-nine percent say the strikes are more likely to make the world more dangerous, a view shared by 74 percent of Democrats, 77 percent of Independents, and even 36 percent of Republicans. Meanwhile, the J.L. Partners poll shows that support for U.S. military action against Iran is strongest among Trump's most loyal supporters. Two in three self-identified "MAGA Republicans"—65 percent—support U.S. military strikes on Iran, with just 19 percent opposed. That figure surpasses even the support among "Traditional Republicans," who back strikes by a narrower margin of 51 percent to 28 percent. More broadly, Republican voters increasingly view Israel's conflict with Iran as a U.S. obligation. Sixty percent of Trump voters say "Israel's war is America's war," and believe the United States must be prepared to act—only 25 percent say the U.S. should stay out of it entirely. Among all Republicans, 63 percent share the view that Israel's war is America's, while just 21 percent want the U.S. to remain uninvolved. Among MAGA Republicans, those numbers rise even further: 67 percent see Israel's war as America's and only 20 percent believe the U.S. should sit it out. When it comes to the duration of the conflict, Trump-aligned Republicans are again the most in favor of pressing on until Iran's nuclear ambitions are completely dismantled. A majority of Republicans—52 percent—believe the war should continue until Iran's nuclear program is destroyed, compared to 33 percent who support pausing attacks to open negotiations. Among MAGA Republicans, support for continuing the war is even higher at 59 percent, with just 28 percent favoring a pause. Among Trump voters overall, 48 percent want to continue the conflict, while 40 percent support halting military action for talks, says the JL Partners poll. In contrast, the broader public is more inclined toward diplomacy: 53 percent of voters overall support a pause for negotiations, while only 30 percent back continuing the war until Iran's program is eliminated. Nonetheless, Trump's approval on foreign policy remains weak overall, with 42 percent of voters approving and 57 percent disapproving in the Fox poll—virtually unchanged since April. Echelon shows a slightly better split, with 47 percent approval and 49 percent disapproval. His ratings remain stronger on immigration and border security, but slump when it comes to inflation and the economy. What People Are Saying Fox News Republican pollster Daron Shaw said: "The increased sense that Iran constitutes a threat is real, but it also reflects the unique timing and circumstances surrounding this poll. The poll was in the field as images of Iranian missiles falling on Tel Aviv dominated television and the internet—the immediacy and clarity of the conflict undoubtedly contributes to how voters gauge what is at risk." James Johnson, Co-Founder of J.L. Partners, said: "This poll makes clear: the Republican base is not isolationist. They back forceful U.S. and Israeli action to stop Iran, and see Israel's fight as America's fight." What Happens Next Trump is expected to continue consultations with security and defense officials in the coming days, weighing the risks of direct military involvement against Iran.

Santiago Mejia/San Francisco Chronicle/AP Why It Matters The protests took place last weekend in hundreds of U.S. cities, with large-scale gatherings reported in major hubs such as Philadelphia; Los Angeles; Austin, Texas; Portland, Oregon; and New York. According to analysis by pollster G. Elliott Morris, they were attended by an estimated 4 to 6 million people. They came partly in response to Trump's decision to send 4,000 National Guard troops and 700 Marines to Los Angeles amid reported violence against law enforcement, specifically s Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents carrying out deportation raids in the city. What To Know Other polls have shown a downward trend in Trump's approval rating in recent days The latest YouGov/Economist poll, conducted between June 13-16 among 1,512 adults, put Trump's approval rating at 41 percent, down 2 points since last week, with 54 percent disapproving, up 2 points since last week. The latest Morning Consult poll, conducted between June 13-15 among 2,207 registered voters, put Trump's approval rating at 46 percent, down from 47 percent last week, with 52 percent disapproving, up from 51 percent. And in the latest J.L. Partners poll, conducted on June 16-17, Trump's approval held steady at 46 percent. But disapproval was up 11 points to 51 percent since their last poll in February. Approval also held steady in the latest Reuters/Ipsos poll (June 11–16) at 42 percent, but his disapproval rose by 2 points to 54 percent.

In the latest Echelon Insights poll (June 17-18) and Fox News poll (June 13-16), Trump approval rating was up 2 points, while disapproval was down by 1 point compared to last month. Meanwhile, an Insider Advantage poll, conducted on June 15-16 among 1,000 likely voters, put his approval rating at 54 percent, with 44 percent disapproving, giving him a net approval rating of +10 points. That was virtually unchanged from May. What Happens Next Trump's approval rating could fluctuate in the coming weeks, depending on the outcome of key events.

MAGA Republicans overwhelmingly support US strikes on Iran: Statistics
A recent poll has revealed strong support among Make America Great Again (MAGA)-aligned Republicans for potential US military strikes on Iran. The survey, conducted by J.L. Partners between June 16 and 17 and shared exclusively with The New York Post, found that 65 percent of self-identified MAGA Republicans would support US strikes on Iranian military outposts and infrastructure. Only 19 percent expressed opposition. In comparison, 51 percent of traditional Republicans backed strikes, while 28 percent opposed them. The poll results conducted by J.L. Partners. Overall, 58 percent of Republican voters favored US strikes on Iran, with 25 percent against and 17 percent undecided or neutral. 'This poll makes clear: the Republican base is not isolationist. They back forceful US and Israeli action to stop Iran, and see Israel's fight as America's fight,' said James Johnson, co-founder of J.L. Partners. The findings come as high-profile MAGA figures remain divided over the extent of US involvement in the 'Israel'-Iran war. While President Donald Trump has voiced support for 'Israel' and helped coordinate its defense against Iranian attacks, he has so far held back from authorizing direct strikes on Iran. Despite the divide among right-wing influencers, Trump's approval rating remains extremely high among his 2024 voters, with 95 percent approving of his overall performance and 84 percent supporting his handling of the 'Israel'-Iran conflict. The poll also highlights broader Republican and MAGA support for 'Israel's' military campaign. Sixty-seven percent of MAGA Republicans, 63 percent of Republicans, and 60 percent of Trump voters believe that 'Israel's' war is also America's, and that the US should stand firmly behind the Jewish state. Support for 'Israel's' preemptive strikes is especially strong within the MAGA base, with 81 percent approving of the attacks. Additionally, 59 percent of MAGA Republicans and 52 percent of Republicans overall believe that the conflict should continue until Iran's nuclear capabilities are eliminated. While some MAGA figures like Tucker Carlson, Steve Bannon, and Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene have warned against deeper US involvement, Trump has dismissed such criticism. He recently described Carlson as 'kooky' and claimed that Carlson later apologized for doubting him. 'My supporters are for me,' Trump told reporters. 'If my supporters oppose my support of Israel, they should oppose me. My supporters don't want to see Iran have a nuclear weapon.' Bannon, for his part, predicted that the MAGA base would ultimately align with Trump's decisions, saying the movement would 'get on board' if he chose to strike Iran. Trump himself has remained ambiguous about his next move. 'I may do it, I may not do it. I mean, nobody knows what I'm going to do,' he said when asked if he plans to order strikes on Iran. The survey also found widespread concern across party lines about a nuclear-armed Iran. Seventy-three percent of Americans believe such a development 'cannot be allowed.' Military analysts have warned that without US support, 'Israel' may be unable to destroy deeply buried Iranian nuclear sites, such as the Fordow enrichment facility, located nearly half a mile underground. Experts suggest that only American heavy bombers equipped with bunker-busting munitions could potentially reach it — and even that remains uncertain.
