A poll conducted by Pollfish, a mobile polling company, showed that only 38% of Americans supported the military strike against Syria, while 35% disapproved, and 27% had no opinion.
However, a HuffPost/YouGov survey found that 51% of Americans support the president’s decision to launch a missile strike on a Syrian Air Base. The poll showed that 32% were opposed to the missile strike, while 17% are uncertain. Among Trump voters 83% approved.
About 40% think the strikes were an appropriate response, compared to 25% who think they were too aggressive, and 10% who think they were not aggressive enough.
Still, only about one-third of Americans think the airstrikes will be even somewhat likely to deter the future use of chemical weapons.

The ABC/Washington Post poll found that 34% of respondents disapprove of Trump including his daughter Ivanka and son-in-law Jared Kushner in his administration.
And 54% said they did not have a problem with Trump working out of Mar-a-Lago in Florida.
