According to a recent Reuters/Ipsos survey, a substantial majority of Americans express concern over rising geopolitical tensions following the US airstrike on Iran. Approximately 79% of respondents fear potential retaliatory actions targeting American civilians, underscoring heightened national security anxieties. Furthermore, 84% of those surveyed indicated a general apprehension about the escalating conflict, reflecting widespread unease across the population. The poll, which included 1,139 American adults and carries a 3% margin of error, also reveals a pronounced political divide regarding the US government’s next steps. This division presents notable challenges for policymakers in Washington. Additionally, the survey highlights a decline in former President Trump’s approval rating, now at 41%, marking his lowest since assuming office in January. These findings emphasize the complex interplay between international developments and domestic political dynamics amid ongoing global uncertainties.
