President Trump remarked on February 13 that toppling Iran's government would be ideal, as U.S. forces prepare amid nuclear and missile tensions. X polls largely oppose war, echoing Kirk's overwhelming 'no' from June 2025, though pro-regime change voices from Iranian dissidents push back. Accusations of bot interference fly, while professional surveys like Quinnipiac show 70% against military action and Harvard finding majority support for change in theory but not airstrikes. The clash highlights a MAGA split between isolationists recalling Iraq and hawks focused on Iran's threats.

Wichtigste Erkenntnis

Charlie Kirk's 2025 poll drew nearly half a million votes, with 90% rejecting U.S. involvement in war against Iran. Now, as Trump eyes regime change, fresh X polls revive that stark divide.

A YouGov survey of over 1,000 U.S. adults from February 10-13 revealed 50% support for D.C. statehood and 48% for Puerto Rico, compared to just 27% for Greenland and 24% for Canada.
