MAGA shows support for Trump’s war in Iran, despite prominent conservative media figures pushing back against the president

Supporters of Donald Trump’s MAGA base overwhelmingly support the war in Iran, with nearly 90 percent backing the president’s military attacks, according to the polls.

CNN’s Chief Data Analyst Harry Enten shared recent polling on MAGA’s approval of military action in Iran on Tuesday. An average of 89 percent approve of the war, while just 9 percent disapprove.

“This is tremendously popular among the Republican base,” Enten said of the U.S.-Israeli strikes that began more than two weeks ago.

Enten’s data was based on a post from Gabe Fleisher’s Wake Up To Politics Substack published last week. Referenced in Felisher’s post was an NBC News poll that found 90 percent of MAGA supporters backed the military strikes.

    One of their main defining demands that they can actually articulate is staying out of foreign wars. Every other demand is just weird like, “no more woke” and they can’t define woke. This one demand so was stupidly straightforward and yet at the first chance they miss supporting it and buckle to the song of the orange siren.

      But its not a war so it is ok. Its just a little excursion, like going out to get milk or cigarettes. Dad will for sure be home any day now.

      Because it’s the only one they can say out loud and know they aren’t being complete assholes.

      Their real main sticking points are “I hate the left and enjoy their suffering and I hate brown people.” Anything else they say is just convenient in the moment.
