Not much in the way of trendlines, so no way to see if the administration's drumbeat for war is moving public opinion one way or the other. The Ipsos suggests that undecideds are trending away from war, but again, I'd be loathe to read too much into a single poll. The oldest poll
is the most favorable for war supporters, but that could just be methodological or question-wording differences at play.
