How the war in Iran is landing with Republicans, according to a new AP-NORC poll

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. Rising prices could also pose a problem for Trump. The cost of oil and gas has soared since the Iran war began a month ago, adding financial pressure for Americans. About three-quarters of Republicans approve of Trump’s handling of the presidency, and 70% approve of how he’s handling Iran. Those ratings are in line with Republicans’ support for Trump’s foreign policy generally.
