While officials have denied that there was any political component to the US not attacking Iran on Thursday, a newly released poll from Hill-HarrisX, taken over the weekend, shows that a strong majority of American voters oppose such an attack.
The poll showed 58 percent favored a non-military approach, with 48
percent calling for diplomacy and nine percent saying the US should take
no action at all. By contrast, only 5 percent supported a war, and
another 19 percent wanted “limited” attacks.
A majority remained against an attack in all parties, and all age
groups, with 67% of Democrats calling for non-military options, 54
percent of independents, and a slight majority of Republicans.
With overwhelmingly more people in every category imaginable opposed to
the idea of a war with Iran, the perennial hawks who have been trying to
foment an Iran war for generations clearly still have an uphill battle,
and a public that still isn’t buying their push.
