57% of Americans Say Military Action Was Necessary to Protect American Lives
87% of Republicans Agree

Atlanta, GA – Today, Tea Party Patriots Action (TPPA) released new data from a poll conducted by McLaughlin & Associates showing strong majority support among American voters for U.S. military action against Iran and continued action to protect the United States and its allies.

The poll, which surveyed 1,000 general election voters and was conducted on March 10, with a margin of error of +/- 3.1% at the 95% confidence interval, found:

• 57% agree that “the United States military actions against Iran and the leadership of the Iranian regime were necessary and warranted to protect American lives today and in the future.”
• 59% agree that “the United States must finish the job once and for all to protect the United States and our allies.”

TPPA Honorary Chairman Jenny Beth Martin issued the following statement:

“President Trump understands the threat posed by the Iranian regime, and our poll confirms that the American people do as well. A clear majority of voters believe the United States was right to take military action against Iran’s leadership to protect American lives and deter future attacks. Eighty-seven percent of Republicans agree.

“For nearly half a century, the Iranian regime has sponsored terrorism, threatened our allies, and repeatedly targeted Americans. The American people know that weakness only enables more aggression from regimes like Iran’s.

“Our poll shows that Americans not only support the actions that were taken, but they also believe the United States must finish the job to protect our country and our allies from the ongoing threat posed by the Iranian regime.

“Protecting American lives should always be the top priority for our leaders. The American people understand the stakes, and they expect our leaders to stand strong against hostile regimes that threaten the safety and national security of the United States.”
