Summary

74% Informative

Democrats seemed at odds over policy toward Iran as progressives demanded unified opposition before President Donald Trump announced U.S. strikes against Tehran ’s nuclear program.

Party leaders were treading more cautiously.

Some believed the party should stake out a clear anti-war stance.

The party is the latest test for a party struggling to repair its coalition before the midterm elections.

Democratic Rep. Yassamin Ansari , an Iranian American , said Iranians were unwitting victims in the conflict because there were not shelters or infrastructure to protect civilians from targeted missiles as there are in Israel .

About half of Democrats said the U.S. was being “too supportive” of Israel and about 4 in 10 said their level of support was “about right”.
