New Polls Show Broad Rejection of Trump’s Push for Military Actions, Including Greenland and Iran

Surveys from multiple outlets indicate strong support for requiring congressional approval before overseas strikes.

Overview

  • A new CNN/SSRS poll finds 75% of Americans oppose the United States attempting to take control of Greenland, as Trump said anything less than U.S. control is unacceptable.
  • Quinnipiac reports 70% of voters oppose U.S. military action against Iran even if protesters are killed, with opposition spanning independents, Democrats and a majority of Republicans.
  • About 70% in the Quinnipiac survey say a president should obtain congressional approval before using military force abroad.
  • AP-NORC finds most Americans believe Trump has gone too far in using the military overseas, and Reuters/Ipsos reports 66% are concerned a Greenland push would damage NATO and ties with European allies.
  • Public sentiment on Venezuela is split or negative—CNN shows 52% oppose the military action and Quinnipiac finds voters reject U.S. plans to run the country, send ground troops, or take over oil sales.
