Introduction

As tensions escalate in the Middle East following Israel’s recent strikes on Iranian nuclear sites, GrayHouse Research conducted a national survey to understand how voters view the conflict, how serious they believe the threat from Iran is, and what role they think the United States should play. The survey examined awareness, support for Israel’s actions, and preferences for U.S. involvement across party lines.


Key Findings

1. Awareness and Engagement

  • 96% of voters have heard at least a little about the Israel Iran conflict

  • 54% say they have heard a lot, showing strong national attention


2. Support for Israel’s Military Actions

  • Strikes on Iran: 48% support Israel’s recent strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities, including 34% who strongly support them. Opposition stands at 38%

  • Gaza campaign: 50% support Israel’s military campaign in Gaza, while 40% oppose


3. Perceptions of Iran

  • 69% say Iran poses at least a somewhat serious threat to U.S. security

  • 54% are very concerned about Iran developing nuclear weapons

  • 64% consider an Iranian nuclear weapon an existential threat that must be stopped at all costs


4. Attitudes Toward Diplomacy

Methodology

This survey was conducted June 14–15, 2025, among a national sample of 1,000 registered voters drawn from the voter file. Interviews were completed using a dual-mode design of 70% SMS-to-web and 30% live cell calls. Data were weighted to reflect the electorate on gender, age, education, race, party, region, and 2024 vote. The margin of error is ±3.2 percentage points at the 95% confidence level.
