Silver Bulletin introduced a dedicated polling average on October 21 to track public support for United States military action in Iran. The publication reported that it has been monitoring polls regarding the conflict since March 1, 2026, which was the day after the war started. [1]
The United States and Israel entered a state of war with Iran and its regional allies on February 28, 2026, according to Wikipedia. The conflict began when American and Israeli forces conducted hundreds of air strikes across Iran, assassinating Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei and other Iranian officials. [1][8]
Silver Bulletin reported that its polling average uses a weighting system that gives greater influence to more reliable survey providers. The calculation method mirrors the approach used by the publication to track presidential approval ratings. [1]
The average incorporates surveys measuring public backing for the war overall, targeted strikes inside Iran, and related military operations, according to Silver Bulletin. The outlet plans to update the metric regularly as new survey data becomes available. [1]
