"We exclude questions that:
Make presumptions about the reasons for or against the war and/or offer an assessment about whether these objectives have been met (even if respondents are offered arguments on both sides);
Ask how the war is going relative to the respondent’s expectations (i.e., “Is the war going too far”?);
Ask about President Trump’s approval on Iran, as opposed to support for the overall war operation6, or;
Ask about some particular aspect of the war (e.g. targeting nuclear facilities) rather than the overall situation.
Also, in line with longstanding Silver Bulletin policy, surveys that fail to provide the specific question wording or other key details about the poll (dates, sample frame, sample size) can’t be included."
