US: Americans Increasingly Think The US Should Continue Iran Strikes - WaPo

A new survey from the Washington Post shows that Americans increasingly believe that the US should continue strikes on Iran.

• The Post notes on surveys conducted on March 1 and March 6-9: “The share of Americans saying the United States should “continue military strikes against Iran” grew from 25 percent to 34 percent since the first weekend of attacks. A larger 42 percent still say the U.S. should “stop strikes at this time,” down from 47 percent the day after the strikes began. Roughly one-quarter, 24 percent, say they are unsure, compared with 28 percent in the initial poll. Among those who support the U.S. military campaign overall, 72 percent want the strikes to continue while 10 percent want them to stop and 18 percent are unsure.”
• The Post adds, “Support for continuing strikes is up by double digits among Republicans, independents, women and people 65 and older. Majorities of seniors and Republicans support continuing strikes on Iran, while pluralities or majorities of independents, Democrats, women and people under age 50 want them to stop.”
