"LYDIA MOYNIHAN: I would like to point out, look, I know there's lots of polling, people aren't excited about the war. Obviously you're not gonna tell a pollster, oh, I'm excited about this war, but if you do look at the polling from Harvard-Harris, voters actually want to see Trump's goals accomplished in this war. 80% believe that Iran needs to stop handing money to terrorists. 54% of voters believe that we have the upper hand in negotiations which seems to be born out and what the reporting is about and what a new deal could look like. And 66% of voters believe Trump should insist on the conditions and extract maximum concessions from the enemy. So yes, people are eager to see this wrapped up. Of course, no one likes war. But if you also look at the polling, it's a lot more nuanced than simplywar bad, let's end it. People want to see Trump accomplish the goals that he set out to do in this."
"ABBY PHILLIP: Well, look, I don't think anybody, very few people in this country would tell a pollster that they want to see Iran have a nuclear weapon, so I don't think that's a really I don't think that's a revelatory statistic, that most people don't want them to be sponsors of terror and have nuclear weapons. However, they're very clear"
A CNN panelist cited a Harvard-Harris poll to argue that Americans want President Donald Trump to achieve his Iran objectives despite economic strain and rising gas prices. The poll figures referenced included beliefs that Iran should stop funding terrorists, that the United States has the upper hand in negotiations, and that Trump should demand maximum concessions. Abby Phillip responded that few people would admit to wanting Iran to have a nuclear weapon, making that statistic not especially revealing. Phillip also said the specific poll questions did not fully support the conclusion that Americans are broadly behind Trump’s handling of the war.
