The notable exception was when concern hit 73% last June, right before the U.S. military mission against Iranian nuclear facilities called Operation Midnight Hammer.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/politics\/where-trump-stands-eyes-americans-ahead-state-union-address\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>WHERE TRUMP STANDS IN THE EYES OF AMERICANS AHEAD OF THE STATE OF THE UNION ADDRESS<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Even though a majority views Iran as a danger to the country, that concern does not translate into majority support for the current U.S. military action, as 50% approve and 50% disapprove.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>In addition, 51% think President Trump\u2019s handling of Iran has made the U.S. less safe, up from 43% last July. Twenty-nine percent say he\u2019s made the U.S. safer. By comparison, when the same question was asked about former President Biden in 2023, 50% said his <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/category\/politics\/foreign-policy\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">handling of Iran<\/a> had made the U.S. less safe, while 12% said safer.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/politics\/fox-news-poll-beyond-red-vs-blue-finding-me-you-across-political-divide\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>FOX NEWS POLL: BEYOND RED VS.

Compared to voters overall, who say the U.S. is less safe by a wide margin, veterans are more closely divided on the question of whether Trump\u2019s actions have made the country safer (37%) or less safe (44%).<\/p>\n<p>In a joint effort with Israel, the United States started launching strikes on Iran on Saturday morning as part of a mission called &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/politics\/sharp-partisan-divide-emerges-over-iran-strike-trumps-strategy-polls\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Operation Epic Fury<\/a>.&#8221; All survey interviews were conducted after the bombings began, from Saturday through Monday.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Trump\u2019s job rating on foreign policy is underwater by 20 points, as 40% approve and 60% disapprove \u2014 including 21% of Republicans who disapprove.<\/p>\n<p>Some 43% of voters approve of Trump\u2019s overall job performance, while 57% disapprove. In January and December, it was 44% approve vs. 56% disapprove.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Perceptions of how the United States is viewed abroad have improved slightly since the end of the Biden administration. While a majority of 56% say the country is less respected around the world than it was four years ago, that\u2019s an improvement from 61% who said the same in 2024 under former President Biden. Meanwhile, 30% say the U.S. is more respected, up from 23% under Biden and 29% during Trump\u2019s first term.<\/p>\n<p>Two-thirds of voters are generally concerned that Trump\u2019s use of executive orders and acting without Congressional approval may be permanently altering the country\u2019s system of checks and balances. The results are nearly identical to when this same question was asked about <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/category\/person\/barack-obama\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Barack Obama<\/a> during his presidency.<\/p>\n<p><strong>CLICK HERE FOR <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/static.foxnews.com\/foxnews.com\/content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/fox_feb.-28-mar.-2-2026_national_cross-tabs_march-3-release.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>CROSSTABS<\/strong><\/a><strong> AND <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/static.foxnews.com\/foxnews.com\/content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/fox_feb.-28-mar.-2-2026_national_topline_march-3-release.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>TOPLINE<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The survey also revisited attitudes about last June\u2019s U.S. airstrikes on Iran\u2019s nuclear facilities. When asked to think back, voters are closely divided between saying those strikes were mostly successful (30%) and mostly a failure (31%), but the most common answer is it\u2019s too soon to say (37%). That\u2019s about the same as views in July 2025, immediately following the strikes.<\/p>\n<p><i>Conducted February 28-March 2, 2026, under the direction of Beacon Research (D) and Shaw &amp; Company Research (R), this Fox News survey includes interviews with a sample of 1,004 registered voters randomly selected from a national voter file. Respondents spoke with live interviewers on landlines (104) and cellphones (642) or completed the survey online after receiving a text (258). Results based on the full sample have a margin of sampling error of \u00b13 percentage points. Sampling error for results among subgroups is higher. In addition to sampling error, question wording and order can influence results. Weights are generally applied to age, race, education, and area variables to ensure the demographics are representative of the registered voter population. Sources for developing weight targets include the most recent American Community Survey, Fox News Voter Analysis, and voter file data.<\/i><\/p>\n<p><i>Fox News\u2019 Victoria Balara contributed to this report.<\/i><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/politics\/fox-news-poll-views-divided-us-action-against-iran\">Source &#8211; https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/politics\/fox-news-poll-views-divided-us-action-against-iran <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Voters are divided on U.S. military action against Iran, even as a majority sees the country as a security risk.
