Marquette poll also finds most oppose U.S. military force abroad and say tariffs hurt economy, farmers
A recent Marquette University Law School Poll indicates that Wisconsin voters disapprove of recent U.S. military attacks on Iran by a margin of 61% to 39%.
Seventy-five percent of Republicans approve of the attacks, whereas nearly all Democrats and over 70% of independents disapprove. The results remained consistent regardless of whether President Donald Trump was mentioned in the question.
Among Republicans, 88% of those with a favorable view of MAGA support the attacks, compared to 28% of Republicans with an unfavorable view of MAGA.
Overall, 35% of Wisconsin voters support the use of U.S. military force to bring about change in other countries, while 64% oppose it. MAGA Republicans strongly support the use of force, whereas only 20% of Republicans who do not favor MAGA express support. Among independents, 22% favor military intervention abroad, compared to just 3% of Democrats.
President Trump’s job approval stands at 42%, with 56% disapproving. This represents a two-point decrease in approval and a two-point increase in disapproval since February. His net approval rating is now minus 14 points, the lowest recorded during his presidency.
Trump retains 84% approval among Republicans; however, his approval has declined to 26% among independents and 1% among Democrats.
A majority of Wisconsin voters, 59%, support the U.S. Supreme Court’s February 20 decision that ruled President Trump lacked authority to impose tariffs under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act. Forty percent oppose the ruling.
73% of Republicans oppose the Supreme Court’s decision, whereas 71% of independents and 92% of Democrats support it.
53% of Wisconsinites say tariffs hurt the U.S. economy, while 30% say they help — a view that has held steady since early 2025. Sixty percent believe tariffs hurt Wisconsin farmers, and 16% say they help.
59% of respondents believe Trump’s policies are likely to increase inflation, an increase from 53% in February. In contrast, 28% believe his policies are likely to decrease inflation, down from 35%.
Wisconsin voters generally hold a negative view of the U.S. Supreme Court’s job performance, with 37% approving and 55% disapproving. Sixty-one percent of Republicans approve of the Court, whereas 57% of independents and 81% of Democrats disapprove.
The findings were released Tuesday by the Marquette University Law School Poll on X.
