A majority of Donald Trump’s supporters oppose US military involvement in the Israeli war on Iran, according to a poll released Wednesday, signaling growing Republican resistance to the president’s threats to deploy American forces.

Trump suggested Wednesday that the United States might join Israeli airstrikes on Iran, though he remained noncommittal, saying, “I may do it, I may not do it.”

The Economist/YouGov poll, conducted over the weekend, found that 53% of voters who backed Trump in the 2024 election do not support US participation in Israeli airstrikes. The results underscore a continued public preference for diplomatic solutions over military action when it comes to curbing Iran’s nuclear ambitions.

That sentiment was echoed in an April survey by the Chicago Council on Global Affairs and Ipsos, which showed that 80% of Americans favor diplomacy or increased sanctions as a means to limit Iran’s nuclear enrichment.

The latest poll, reported by the foreign policy outlet Responsible Statecraft, comes as more Republican lawmakers and Trump allies voice concerns about involving US forces without congressional approval.

“This is not our war. But if it were, Congress must decide such matters according to our Constitution,” Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) posted on X Monday, endorsing a bipartisan war powers resolution aimed at restricting Trump’s unilateral military authority.

Speaking to CNN on Wednesday, Republican Rep. Tim Burchett of Tennessee voiced strong opposition to deepening US involvement in the escalations between "Israel" and Iran.

“We don’t need another endless war in the Middle East. Old men make decisions and young men die, and that’s the history of war,” Burchett stated. 

63% of Americans favor diplomacy

Burchett’s remarks align closely with the sentiments of Trump voters surveyed in a recent Economist/YouGov poll. Only 19% of them supported US military involvement, while 63% favored renewed diplomatic negotiations with Iran over its nuclear program.

Among the broader electorate, 60% agreed that the US should avoid direct military engagement in the war. 

Even if diplomatic efforts or sanctions were to fail, most Americans still favor non-military responses. According to an Ipsos poll, 60% supported US cyberattacks targeting Iranian computer systems, while only 48% backed airstrikes on Iran’s nuclear facilities.

A Gallup poll from last year found that 77% of Americans view Iran’s pursuit of nuclear weapons as a “critical threat” to US security. However, follow-up surveys make clear that public concern does not translate into widespread support for military interference.
