A majority of general election voters believe the United States must finish the job in Iran, according to a Tea Party Patriots Action survey exclusively obtained by Breitbart News.
The poll, conducted by McLaughlin & Associates, asked 1,000 voters about Iran’s stranglehold on the Strait of Hormuz — one of the world’s most critical shipping lanes.
Nearly 20% of the world’s oil passes through that narrow waterway, along with a fifth of global natural gas, fertilizers, and raw materials behind plastics and everyday consumer goods.
Iran has blocked ships, launched attacks on cargo vessels, deployed mines, and demanded payments from ships trying to pass through.
When Iran shuts down the waterway, Americans pay more for gas and groceries — and the rest of the world suffers too.
“Iran should not be allowed to block, attack, mine, or extort ships in the Strait of Hormuz.”
The vast majority — 72 percent — agreed with that statement. Just 17.5 percent disagreed, while 11 percent said they don’t know.
That includes 60 percent of Democrats backing the U.S. position against Iran’s control of the strait.
The survey also asked if voters believe the U.S. should finish the job with Iran once and for all.
The question framed the stakes clearly: Iran has consistently threatened U.S. safety, pursuing a nuclear program with the stated purpose of destroying Israel and causing mass destruction to the United States.
If we don’t finish the job now, the poll noted, the United States may have to take further military action months or years from now.
“The United States must finish the job once and for all to protect the United States and our allies — which means ensuring that Iran can never obtain a nuclear weapon and can no longer threaten American lives.”
Overall, 62 percent agreed the U.S. must finish the job and ensure Iran can never obtain a nuclear weapon.
That includes 56 percent of Independents and 82 percent of conservatives.
Tea Party Patriots Action Chairman Jenny Beth Martin said the poll is an important reality check for the media.
“There is no split in the conservative movement on this issue, with self-described conservatives agreeing by 82%-10% that we need to ‘finish the job,'” Martin said in a statement. “Conservatives are overwhelmingly sticking with President Trump and the American people as a whole agree with the President’s strategy.”
The survey was taken July 22 among 1,000 general election voters.
As Breitbart News reported, the U.S. military carried out a 13th consecutive night of strikes against Iran early Friday.
This comes as Tehran rejected a ceasefire proposal, triggering President Donald Trump to weigh a massive attack bigger than anything before.
