U.S. population supports the Iran war | Rasmussen Reports

McLaughlin Poll: "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%.

The results also show meaningful support among several key demographic groups.

Among independent voters, 46% agreed the action was necessary, compared with 40% who disagreed.

Among Hispanic voters, agreement was 56% to 33%, and among women, the margin was 47% to 38% in favor."

Rasmussen Reports

I’m inclined to summarise this as strong support. Especially a whole three weeks into the war.
