TL;DR Summary
A Washington Post text poll of 1,003 U.S. adults shows Americans largely oppose Trump’s weekend airstrikes on Iran (52% oppose vs. 39% support), with independents strongly against and Republicans more divided. Most respondents say the administration has not clearly explained its goals, and about three-quarters worry about a potential full-scale war.

Opinions on whether the actions will improve long-term U.S. security are split, and views vary by gender and age.
