President Donald Trump’s war in Iran is extraordinarily unpopular, according to a poll conducted shortly after the U.S. and Israel carried out massive strikes on the country Saturday.

The survey, conducted by Reuters/Ipsos, found that just 27% of voters approved of the strikes, which have killed at least 555 Iranians as of Monday morning and resulted in retaliation from Iran that has killed at least four U.S. service members, with more casualties expected according to a spokesperson for the U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff.

A majority of Republicans said they approved of the strikes, with 55% expressing support. Still, 13% disapproved, and a noteworthy 31% said they were unsure.
