Polls Warn Ground War in Iran Could Cost Trump His Presidency
TL;DR Summary
A new set of polls from AP-NORC, Data for Progress, Quinnipiac and Fox News finds broad opposition to US ground troops in Iran: about 63% of Republicans back airstrikes, only 20% favor deploying troops, and overall 62% of Americans oppose ground troops. Democrats and independents also oppose. The findings imply that while Trump retains some Republican support, a potential ground war could damage his appeal and threaten his presidency in a midterm year if the US gets drawn into a prolonged conflict.
