Most Voters Believe War With Iran Is Likely, According to Rasmussen Poll

According to a recent poll from Rasmussen Reports, most U.S. likely voters believe that tensions between Iran and the United States will likely lead to all-out war. Nearly one in four say war is “very likely.” The survey, conducted earlier this month and released on Monday, found that 66% of likely voters in the U.S. think that the rising tensions in the Middle East will likely lead to war. 24% said that a war is “very likely,” while 24% said that they don’t think war is “very likely,” and just 2% said war is “not at all likely.”

Additionally, the poll found that 65% of voters believe that the U.S. military would likely win in an all-out war against Iran. 15% said the U.S. military cannot win, and 20% are unsure. About 47% of likely voters think that President Joe Biden and his administration haven’t been aggressive enough in dealing with Iran, while 11% believe that Biden has been too aggressive.

The survey also revealed that Republicans were more likely than Democrats or independents to rate China as the United States’ most dangerous enemy, with 64% of Republicans, 50% of independents, and 35% of Democrats saying China is the most dangerous enemy. Rasmussen surveyed 749 likely voters across the United States from Feb. 5-7, with a margin of error of +/- 3 percentage points.
