A new AP-NORC poll shows that while President Donald Trump maintains deep support among Republicans, he risks frustrating his supporters if the U.S. gets involved in a prolonged war. Although the survey says about 6 in 10 Republicans back airstrikes against Iranian military targets, only 20% back deploying American ground troops.

He’s not questioning his support for President Donald Trump, but he feels as though“Come on, Trump. Worry about us,” said Beson, 68, of Woodland Park, Colorado. “We’re in a billion-dollar-a-day war. It’s like, ‘Man, you forgot about the other stuff, and you got to take care of that first.’”indicates that the president risks frustrating his voters during a midterm election year if the United States gets involved in the kind of prolonged war in the Middle East that Although 63% of Republicans back airstrikes against Iranian military targets, the survey found, only 20% back deploying American ground troops.. About 6 in 10 Republicans say they’re at least “somewhat” concerned about being able to afford gas in the next few months, according to the poll, though they’re less worried than the rest of the country.Those ratings are in line with Republicans’ support for Trump’s foreign policy generally and his approach to Cuba, where Many Republicans continue to have “a great deal” or “quite a bit” of trust in the president to make the right decisions on foreign issues. About half place a high level of trust in him when it comes to the use of military force outside the U.S. Roughly the same percentage of Republicans have a high level of trust on his dealings with adversaries and allies. Sharon Fuller, 68, is a firm backer of the president and approves of his handling of the job, as well as the war in Iran. A retired hospital analyst from Ocklawaha, Florida, Fuller expressed some reservations about the war but called Trump a “huge patriot” and said she’s been impressed with how the stock market has done since he became president again. “I don’t really agree with the war, but on the other hand, I think it’s a necessity at this point,” she said.found that about 8 in 10 registered voters who are Republicans think the war with Iran will make the world “safer,” compared with about one-third of voters overall.The vast majority of Republicans in the AP-NORC poll, 81%, say it’s “extremely” or “very” important for the U.S. to prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon, lending support to one ofthat Trump has articulated since the war began. But only about half of Republicans see replacing Iran’s government with leaders who are more friendly to the U.S. as a high priority. Stephen Hauss, 40, is a state Agriculture Department employee in Camden, Delaware, where he manages environmental programs. Hauss described his political views as libertarian-leaning, and he voted for Trump in 2024. But the start of the Iran war has changed his views about the president. “Before the war I was just kind of like, ‘OK, like, I voted for him. I got to give him, like, some benefit of the doubt,’” he said. Now, Hauss said he can’t support the U.S. trying to change the leadership of another country. He added, “I don’t think I am on board with this anymore.” Other efforts to get the U.S. more involved in Iran could complicate matters further for Trump. Only about 2 in 10 Republicans favor deploying U.S. ground troops to fight Iran, while about one-third don’t have an opinion and about half are opposed. Thomas Sweeney, 76, is a retired chemical engineer from Frisco, Texas, who voted for Trump three times. An Army officer veteran, Sweeney said he can’t get behind the war, which has brought down his overall view of the president. “I’m not happy. I am frustrated,” he said. “Soldiers are very, very precious. You just don’t go in there and waste lives.”The rising cost of oil and gas is another vulnerability for Trump, even within his own party. About three-quarters of Republicans say it’s “extremely” or “very” important for U.S. foreign policy to keep gas prices down, which could increasingly be at odds with their support for the war. About 3 in 10 Republican registered voters in the Quinnipiac University poll say the price of gasoline has been a “very” or “somewhat” serious problem for their family lately. If high gas prices linger, they could create even more frustration for Trump supporters who hoped the president would bring down the cost of everyday goods. Fuller, the Florida Republican, said there’s no chance she’d vote for Democrats, but she had a message for Trump. “I’d like him to see what he can do to get prices down for, quote, the working people and myself now living on a fixed income,” she said.The AP-NORC poll of 1,150 adults was conducted March 19-23 using a sample drawn from NORC’s probability-based AmeriSpeak Panel, which is designed to be representative of the U.S. population. The margin of sampling error for adults overall is plus or minus 4 percentage points and for Republicans is plus or minus 6.7 percentage points.Catalini covers government, elections and news primarily in New Jersey for The Associated Press.
