A Quinnipiac University poll issued on Thursday shows that 46%, or nearly half of Republican Party supporters in the US back a pre-emptive strike on North Korea by President Donald Trump.
This compares with 41% of Republicans who told the bellwether polling center that they oppose such action.
On the Democratic side, 77% of Democrats opposed a pre-emptive attack, while 16% supported it. 67% of independent voters were in opposition, with 20% in favor.
Overall, 62% of US voters opposed pre-emptive military action by Trump, while 26% were in favor.
Remaining respondents in the poll said they didn’t know or provided no answer.
The widely cited Quinnipiac poll is generally regarded as an accurate measure of US public opinion on politics and world affairs.

We’ve come to the end of the world as predicted in Revelation….NK has missiles which can reach much of America, Europe, Middle East and The Pacific. America can knock some out of the sky but some will stray and find their targets until all is destroyed.
After the atrocities the Americans carried out against the South Koreans , I’m sure they don’t want Americans on their soil again , another mess left by America ,
Bloody thirsty nations, stop the nonsense. We want peace not war. USA appears to be a war monger, but remember if you start this war, it may escalate as WW3.You may suffer the most at your distance, wherever you are, whenever you strike. Stay cautious. Powerful nations like you are also armed with arsenal of weapons of mass distraction (WMD). Negotiate for a peaceful solution, ‘powerful’ nations should rearm first to be exampled by others.
Will it achieve World peace, or the World in pieces?
Once Russia was backing Libya . But when compromise with west his days has gone .
The world is thirst y for war and blood
LET THEM TRY THEY WILL SEE
26% approving a pre-emptive strike is still pretty scary for a country with such destructive power and a nut case guy at the helm. I thought America vows to use its arsenal only for self defense.
ONCE A TIME NO BODY BELIVE AMERICAN CAN FIGHT WITH SADDAM OF IRAQUE OR GADAFFI OF LIBYA .
I wonder how the South Koreans feel about that.
