Data journalist and pollster Richard Baris claimed on Saturday that ahead of the unprecedented U.S. attack on Iran, the Trump administration had reviewed polling on how many American casualties voters would be “willing to accept in a war with Iran,” the findings of which rattled a number of MAGA loyalists.
“Polling reviewed by the administration asked how many American casualties voters were willing to accept in a war with Iran,” Baris wrote in a social media post on X Saturday morning, several hours after President Donald Trump had authorized strikes on Iran.
“The answer was ZERO. Americans demanded ZERO casualties because Americans did NOT support a war. That’s how stupid this was.”
Marjorie Taylor Greene, the former Republican member of Congress from Georgia and devout MAGA faithful, responded to the apparent revelation with shock, claiming that Trump’s efforts to enact regime change in Iran were counter to what MAGA stood for.
“The Trump admin actually asked in a poll how many casualties voters were willing to accept in a war with Iran???” Greene wrote Saturday in a social media post on X. “How about ZERO you bunch of sick f—— liars. We voted for America First and ZERO wars.”
Efforts are currently underway to halt the Trump administration’s military operation in Iran – dubbed Operation Epic Fury – including a War Powers Resolution – a legislative tool to check the president’s authority to declare war – that has steadily grown support among both Democratic and Republican lawmakers.
Baris is the editor at People’s Pundit Daily and the director of Big Data Poll, and has been cited by some analysts for having produced the most accurate poll ahead of the 2024 presidential election.
