We texted 1,000 Americans about U.S. strikes in Iran. Here's what they said.

"Americans oppose Trump ordering airstrikes on Iran by 52 percent to 39 percent; 9 percent say they are unsure. Opponents are more passionate, with about 4 in 10 strongly opposing the strikes, whereas just over 2 in 10 strongly support them."

"The unpopularity of strikes is driven by political independents, who oppose them by about 2 to 1, 59 percent to 28 percent. Partisans line up predictably, with about 8 in 10 Republicans supporting the strikes and nearly 9 in 10 Democrats opposing them."

"The poll finds sharp differences by gender and age. Men are roughly split over the strikes, while women oppose them by a 26-point margin (58 percent to 32 percent). And while more than 6 in 10 adults younger than 40 oppose the strikes, most people ages 50-64 support them."

A Washington Post survey of 1,003 Americans conducted Sunday found majority opposition to President Trump's airstrikes on Iran, with 52% opposing and 39% supporting the strikes. Opponents express stronger passion than supporters. Political independents oppose the strikes by roughly 2-to-1 margins, while Republicans predominantly support them and Democrats overwhelmingly oppose them. Gender and age differences emerge significantly: women oppose strikes by 26 points while men are roughly split; younger adults and those 65+ show divided opinions, while most people ages 50-64 support the action. About half of Americans believe military actions will contribute to long-term U.S. security, though a clear majority says the administration has not clearly explained its goals.
