: More Americans support rather than oppose Israeli airstrikes on Iran’s nuclear facilities, according to a new national poll conducted before Israel’s Friday attack on Iran.<\/p>\n
But the survey, released by the Ronald Reagan Institute, indicates that most Democrats and Republicans don’t see eye-to-eye on the issue.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
According to the poll, which was first shared with Fox News on Friday, 45% of those questioned said they would support Israel conducting targeted airstrikes against Iran’s nuclear facilities if diplomatic efforts between the U.S. and Iran fail.<\/p>\n
Thirty-seven percent said they opposed Israeli airstrikes, with 18% unsure.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
But the poll indicates a partisan divide.<\/p>\n
Six in 10 Republicans said they support the airstrikes, but that backing dropped to 35% among independents and 32% among Democrats.<\/p>\n
Twenty-seven percent of Republicans opposed the Israeli airstrikes, with a third of independents and just over half of Democrats opposed.<\/p>\n
The poll of adult Americans was conducted, May 22-June 2, before Israel’s unprecedented attack on Iran, named ‘Operation Rising Lion,’ which included strikes on both the Islamic State’s nuclear program and military leaders.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
