MAGA Base Supports Israel, Military Operations in Iran, CPAC Straw Poll Shows
Share
Category: WARS & RUMORS OF WARS
Summary:
A CPAC straw poll of over 1,600 attendees showed that 89 percent support President Donald Trump’s use of military force in Iran, with 70 percent strongly approving, and 85 percent backing Israel. The poll contradicts media reports suggesting divisions within the Republican MAGA base over the US-Israel military campaign against Iran. Despite some prominent conservatives, including Steve Bannon, Marjorie Taylor Greene, Matt Gaetz, and Tucker Carlson, opposing the operations and US-Israel relations, overall Republican voters, especially MAGA supporters, show strong backing for the strikes. The poll also revealed Vice President JD Vance leading the 2028 Republican presidential primary preferences among attendees at 53 percent, while Secretary of State Marco Rubio received 35 percent, marking a notable increase from the previous year.

Scripture: Psalm 146:3-5 (NASB 1977)
"Do not trust in princes,
In mortal man, in whom there is no salvation.
His spirit departs, he returns to the earth;
In that very day his thoughts perish.
How blessed is he whose help is the God of Jacob,
Whose hope is in the LORD his God;"
Commentary:
Polls can swing fast. One weekend of headlines can tighten ranks or expose fractures, and people in the crowd feel that pressure first. Psalm 146 cuts through it: mortal leaders rise and fall, and their plans don’t hold forever, even when alliances harden around Iran, Israel, and American power. This is part of the prophetic pattern Scripture describes—nations regrouping into sharper blocs and testing loyalties. Keep clear-eyed: turmoil touching Israel carries unique weight on land God gave to Israel.
Prophetic Trend:
Public backing for force and alliance around Israel is consolidating, reflecting a wider end-times pattern of hardening blocs that carry unique weight on Israel’s covenant land.

Photo: The White House/Social Media/Handout via REUTERS The results of last weekend’s straw poll from the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) in Texas appear to push back on the narrative that the US-Israel war with Iran has fractured the Republican Party’s political base. The poll, conducted by McLaughlin & Associates among more than 1,600 CPAC attendees — a sub-sample of right-wing voters that is often synonymous with the grassroots base — found that 89 percent approved of US President Donald Trump’s use of military force in Iran, with 70 percent strongly approving and 19 percent somewhat approving. Just 8 percent said they disapproved. CPAC shared the results on social media, writing, “The media says one thing — the base says another. 89% back action against Iran and 85% stand with Israel in the CPAC Straw Poll.” The media says one thing—the base says another. 89% back action against Iran and 85% stand with Israel in the CPAC Straw Poll. pic.twitter....
