According to a Reuters/Ipsos poll conducted September 17-18, 2025, 58% of Americans believe the U.S. military should only be deployed to address external threats, while just 25% support its use for domestic policy enforcement, such as policing cities amid protests or riots. This indicates that a majority do not approve of using the National Guard in such domestic scenarios, with a notable partisan split: 70% of Democrats and 50% of Republicans favor restricting deployments to external threats only. The poll also found that 83% of respondents want the military to remain politically neutral and not engage in domestic policy debates.
