Half of registered voters say they think U.S. military strikes on Iran’s nuclear program would make Americans less safe, according to a new Quinnipiac University survey conducted in the days after President Trump bombed the Middle Eastern country.
The poll, released Wednesday, phrases the question as a hypothetical, asking respondents whether “U.S. military strikes targeting Iran's nuclear program would make Americans safer or less safe.”
Fifty percent say less safe, 42 percent say safer, and 8 percent say they don’t know or skipped the question.
There is a clear party split, with 76 percent of Democrats and 14 percent of Republicans saying the strikes would make them feel less safe.
Those who say military strikes would make them feel safer include 80 percent of Republicans and 13 percent of Democrats.
Among independents, 58 percent say they feel less safe, while 35 percent say they feel safer.
The survey sees a similar party divide when asking respondents specifically about “the United States joining Israel in military strikes on Iran's nuclear sites.”
Fifty-one percent oppose the decision, while 42 percent support it. Seven percent don’t know or skipped the question.
Among Republicans, 81 percent support the decision, while 15 percent oppose it. Among Democrats, 75 percent oppose the decision, while 15 percent support it. And among independents, 60 percent oppose the decision, while 35 percent support it.
When asked specifically about Israel’s strikes against nuclear and military sites inside Iran, overall support increases: 50 percent support, and 40 percent oppose.
The survey was conducted amid a rapidly evolving news cycle. As pollsters were in the field, Iran launched a limited retaliatory attack on a U.S. airbase in Qatar, and then Trump later announced a ceasefire agreement had been brokered. The ceasefire appeared at first to be on shaky ground, as claims that both sides violated terms of the agreement emerged, but, by the end of Tuesday, the deal appeared to be holding.
The Quinnipiac University poll was conducted on June 22-24, 2025, and included 979 self-identified registered voters. The margin of error is 3.1 percentage points.
