• Disapproval of the attacks on Iran has risen 5 points to 55% in the 2 days since an initial investigation found that the U.S. was at fault for the mistaken bombing of a girls' school in Iran that killed 165 civilians.
  • Scott Rasmussen also explains that it is looking more likely to voters that this will be a longer operation.
  • In contrast, approval has remained unchanged at 40% for the 4th time in 5 surveys.

  • About a third (35%) of voters disagree and say it is better for the U.S. to cease fighting.
  • Seventy-one percent (71%) of Republicans say it's better to keep fighting, while a majority (56%) of Democrats feel the opposite.
