Opinions of Trump Supporters: Latest Survey Debunks the Idea of a Split Between Israel and Iran Among “MAGA” Followers

One of the most under-reported stories of the past 24 hours may well be the fact that we actually do know how President Trump’s base feels about Israel and Iran, despite attempts by some in the legacy media—not to mention click-servative ne’er-do-wells on X who are mired in engagement farming—to portray MAGA as being fractured over the matter.

A lot has been made in recent days, particularly on X, over what some have perceived as a schism forming amongst Trump’s base, with, in basic terms, the “America first” side favoring diplomatic efforts to resolve the conflict while the more pragmatic wing seemed to be open to the U.S. taking military action to ensure Iran doesn’t develop nukes.

The simplest way to look at the kerfuffle might be found in the frostiness developing between Tucker Carlson and President Trump himself. As RedState reported on Monday, Carlson appeared on Steve Bannon’s “War Room” and predicted an early demise to Trump’s second term if the president were to involve the U.S. in efforts to de-nuke Iran. Trump was having none of it and pleaded with social media to explain to “kooky” Carlson that “Iran must not have nuclear weapons!”

It seemed that MAGA was at an Iran-sized impasse. Not so fast … and not so much.

A new poll from the firm GrayHouse puts things into sharp focus: Trump’s 2024 voters overwhelmingly support Israel taking military action against Iran, and also see Iran as an existential threat to the national security of the United States. They’re, additionally, supportive of President Trump taking military action in order to protect the U.S. 

It’s all there in black and white.

The poll, which was prepared by GrayHouse for the Senate Republican Committee, showed MAGA far from being fractured, with a staggering 80 percent of Trump voters voicing their support for the U.S. providing Israel with offensive weapons in its efforts to destroy Iran’s military and nuclear capabilities. 

That’s not all. Poll results show that 83 percent of Trump voters support the strikes on Iran’s nuclear program, with 72 percent supporting the U.S. taking “direct military action” to prevent Tehran from developing its nuclear capabilities.
