The following is from Rasmussen Reports.

A clear majority of American voters say they support limited US military involvement in the Iran-Israel conflict, focused solely on eliminating Iran’s nuclear threat—not on removing its government.

That’s according to the latest Rasmussen Reports national survey. Fifty-seven percent (57%) of likely voters say the US military should only target Iran’s nuclear weapons sites. Just 24% say the US should pursue “regime change” to end the Islamic dictatorship in Tehran. Eighteen percent (18%) say they are not sure.

The survey was conducted after Saturday’s strike on three Iranian nuclear facilities. Seventy-five percent (75%) of voters say Iran is a serious threat to the United States, including 41% who say the threat is very serious. Nineteen percent (19%) say Iran is not a serious threat.

Among those who believe the US should only target Iran’s nuclear weapons, 76% also say Iran is a serious threat.

There is broad bipartisan agreement that Iran poses a danger. Seventy-seven percent (77%) of Republicans, 76% of Democrats, and 71% of unaffiliated voters say Iran is a serious threat. Republicans are most likely to say the threat is very serious.

On the question of US military goals, 61% of Republicans, 55% of Democrats, and 56% of unaffiliated voters say the military should limit its action to Iran’s nuclear program. Support for regime change is lower across the board, with 27% of Republicans, 25% of Democrats, and 21% of unaffiliated voters saying they support removing the regime in Tehran.

Among 2024 voters, 50% of those who voted for Donald Trump say Iran is a very serious threat, compared to 36% of Kamala Harris voters who say the same.
