A new Quinnipiac University national poll found that 60% of registered voters believe U.S. military action against Iran was not worth it, while 34% said it was worth it.
The June 24 poll also found that nearly half of voters, 48%, think the United States is too supportive of Israel, the highest share Quinnipiac has recorded on that question since it began asking registered voters in 2017.
The poll was released after President Donald Trump signed a memorandum of understanding with Iran as the two countries negotiate a long-term peace deal, according to Quinnipiac.
Democrats and independents were more likely to say the military action was not worth it, while Republicans were more likely to say it was worth it. Quinnipiac reported that 93% of Democrats and 66% of independents said the action was not worth it, compared with 17% of Republicans.
Voters also expressed skepticism about the Iran agreement. Quinnipiac found that 59% were either not so confident or not confident at all that the deal will work, while 37% were very or somewhat confident.
Sixty-one percent of voters said it is very or somewhat likely that Iran will develop nuclear weapons.
On Israel, 66% of Democrats and 55% of independents said the United States is too supportive. Among Republicans, 20% said the U.S. is too supportive, while 69% said support is about right.
Trump's overall job approval stood at 38%, with 55% disapproving, according to the poll.
