While media and political elites spent the weekend mostly fawning over President Donald Trumps decision to launch an airstrike against Syria on Thursday, a new poll shows Americans as a whole are far more divided.

According to a Huffington Post/YouGov poll, a slim majority comprising 51%, said they supported the strike. Another 32% said they were opposed while 17% were uncertain.

The poll, however, also found that 46% of respondents believed the attack would be somewhat or very unlikely to have any meaningful impact in the conflict.

Trumps dramatic launch of 59 Tomahawk missiles against a Syrian airbase came in response to a brutal chemical attack that the countrys leader, Bashar al-Assad, unleashed against his own people. The attack was just the latest indication that Syrias 6-year-old Civil War is showing no signs of stopping. The missile strikesharply divided Donald Trumps own base of support, between the traditional GOP Neocon wing, and his more colorful, Pepe the Frog toting troll activists.
