A recent Politico poll, conducted wiht the Public First polling firm, indicates a 13-point decline in support for the war among MAGA supporters since May. When questions were framed as a cost-benefit analysis, fewer supporters favored continuing the war at any cost, while more opposed it regardless of impacts.<\/p>\n<p>Support among non-MAGA Trump voters is even weaker, with only 21% considering the war worthwhile regardless of costs, and 28% opposing it outright. broader polls show general American opposition to the war by approximately 25 points. Inside the White House, officials express frustration, noting Trump\u2019s awareness that escalation is politically unviable given public opinion and recent casualties.<\/p>\n<p>Despite dismissing polling data publicly, Trump maintains that his decisions are based on national security rather than polls. However, political analysts highlight that public sentiment and the risk of political vulnerability might influence his actions.Additionally, some of Trump\u2019s supporters, including his son donald Trump Jr.,previously expressed support for Trump\u2019s strength in avoiding war with Iran,though a fact-check attached to that statement corrects it to suggest Trump did,in fact,involve the US in the Iran conflict.<\/p>\n<p>Most concerning for Trump, his own voters believe he has either worsened inflation or made economic conditions worse compared to Democrats. public opinion appears to be shifting against ongoing military engagement with Iran, complicating the political landscape for Trump\u2019s foreign policy stance.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><br \/>\n<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC \"-\/\/W3C\/\/DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional\/\/EN\" \"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/TR\/REC-html40\/loose.dtd\"><br \/>\n<?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><html><body><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_0)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_1)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>President Donald Trump\u2019s loyal base has grown increasingly weary of the president\u2019s war against Iran.<\/p>\n<p>According to a new <a href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.com\/news\/2026\/07\/22\/poll-maga-souring-iran-war-costs-trump-01006976\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Politico<\/a> poll, done in partnership with the Public First polling firm, self-identified supporters of Trump\u2019s Make America Great Again movement have turned against the war in recent months.<\/p>\n<p>In fact, MAGA\u2019s support for the war has declined by 13 points since May.<\/p>\n<p>Notably, pollsters framed their questions not in moral terms, but as a cost-benefit analysis.<\/p>\n<p>For instance, the number of respondents who said the U.S. should continue the war even if it drives up costs in America has declined by 13 points since May, whereas those who say the U.S. should continue the war only if it does not drive up costs increased by eight percent.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, those who said the U.S. should not continue the war regardless of costs increased by seven percent.<\/p>\n<p>Among non-MAGA Trump voters, the picture looks even more bleak.<\/p>\n<p>Indeed, only 21 percent of voters who supported Trump in 2024 but do not consider themselves part of his decade-long movement consider the Iran war worth the effort regardless of its impact on costs. By contrast, 28 percent of those voters oppose the war regardless of costs.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, by connecting war and inflation, the pollsters created an apples-and-oranges situation with regard to polling comparisons.<\/p>\n<p>Nonetheless, diminished support for the war among Trump voters aligns with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/voters-democrats-are-americas-biggest-enemy-washington-examiner\/\" title=\"...: Democrats are America\u2019s \u2018biggest enemy\u2019 - Washington Examiner\">broader polling trends<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>According to pollster <a href=\"https:\/\/www.natesilver.net\/p\/iran-war-polls-popularity-approval\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Nate Silver<\/a>, for instance, the latest aggregate of polling shows that Americans oppose the war by a margin of roughly 25 points.<\/p>\n<p>In fact, an anonymous source characterized the Trump White House as \u201cat a maximum level of frustration right now, and I was told by very senior people that the president is now fully aware that the only way to the victory that he wants is completely politically impossible. The American people just will not support the kind of escalation it would take at this point.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Moreover, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/trump-issues-clear-order-military-response-recent-soldier-deaths\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">casualties<\/a> suffered this week will not help matters.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019ve got more dead Americans and a politically impossible situation,\u201d the anonymous source added.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, White House spokeswoman Olivia Wales downplayed the polling.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat matters most to the American people is having a Commander in Chief who takes bold action to keep them safe, which is exactly what President Trump is doing,\u201d Wales said. \u201cThe President does not make national security decisions based on fluid opinion polls, but on the best interests of the American people.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Trump echoed that sentiment.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey won\u2019t have any impact on me. I\u2019m just here to do the right thing. I don\u2019t view it as, gee, we\u2019re having an election in a period of time. You know, everyone says, oh, I\u2019m doing something before \u2014 no, the election \u2014 I can\u2019t think about that having to do with this,\u201d the president said on Tuesday.<\/p>\n<p>Still, in a constitutional republic, a president can only ignore public opinion for so long.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe American people quite simply do not get it, do not understand why we are in this war, and, yes, President Trump is king of the Republican Party,\u201d Curt Mills, executive director of the American Conservative magazine, said. \u201cYes, the president can do a lot and has a lot of latitude with his own supporters, but kings are not invulnerable from political reality.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As a sign of the public mood, an April 2024 from Donald Trump Jr. began recirculating Wednesday.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cRemember when they said Trump would get us into a full-blown war with Iran? Times like these should make us all realize how lucky we were to have Trump, his strength and his resolve,\u201d the president\u2019s son wrote on the social media platform X seven months before his father won the 2024 election.<\/p>\n<p>That post now has a Community Note attached to it: \u201cTrump got us into a war with Iran.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Remember when they said Trump would get us into a full-blown war with Iran?<\/p>\n<p>Times like these should make us all realize how lucky we were to have Trump, his strength and his resolve.<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Donald Trump Jr. (@DonaldJTrumpJr) <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/DonaldJTrumpJr\/status\/1779254391968498012?\">April 13, 2024<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.x.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>Most alarming for the president, his own voters rated Trump equal to or worse than former Vice President <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/kamala-harris-lashes-another-illegal-killed-allegedly-trying-run-ice-agents\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Kamala Harris<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>In fact, only 34 percent of Trump voters told Politico\u2019s pollsters that gas prices would have increased more under a Democrat.
