CNN data analyst Harry Enten has some news that may stun the people who have been following what the media wants to say is a divide in the MAGA base.
The majority of Americans agree with President Donald Trump and Israel that Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon.
“I think it’s a complicated picture overall. But on this particular question, and overall I feel like there’s more support for Donald Trump’s positions than is comically acknowledged,” he said to CNN anchor Sara Sidner.
“Oppose Iran getting a nuclear weapon. I mean, look at this, 79 percent of adults agree on that. They agree with Donald Trump, Iran cannot get a nuclear weapon. Eighty-three percent of Republicans, 79 percent of independents, 79 percent of Democrats. When you get 79 percent of Democrats and 83 percent of Republicans agreeing on anything, you know that that position is the very clear majority in this country. And so, the American public is with Donald Trump. They definitely oppose Iran getting nuclear weapons,” he said.
“So, this is a nuance here but, you know, Trump and Netanyahu both arguing that Iran is close to — to being capable of making a nuclear weapon. If that is the case, what is the feeling of — of Americans as to whether the United States should get involved in this conflict?” the anchor said.
“Right. If you buy Donald Trump’s theory of the case, and I think that’s important to note, this is polling from — from April. If Iran’s trying to make a nuclear weapon, look at this, overall, you get the slight plurality. I mean it’s within the margin of error, but the slight plurality of Americans actually favor U.S. airstrikes compared to 47 percent opposing it,” Enten said.
“Now, here’s the other nugget I’ll note, right? There’s been a lot of talk online and on social media and in podcasts of a divide within the Republican ranks. But here, on this question, if Iran’s trying to make a nuclear weapon, look at that, 69 percent of Republicans. The clear vast majority of Republicans favor U.S. airstrikes on Iran on their nuclear facilities. But there is this substantial minority, 27 percent, who oppose such an idea. So, it’s not surprising you’re hearing those other voices besides Donald Trump out there. There are plenty of them in the Republican ranks who oppose striking — the U.S. striking Iran if they’re trying to make a nuclear weapon. But the clear majority, the clear majority of Republicans are with Donald Trump if, in fact, Iran is trying to make nuclear weapons, they do, in fact, potentially favor U.S. airstrikes,” he said.
