This statistic shows British public opinion from September 18 to 19, 2014, and one week later on September 24 to 25, 2014, on whether the RAF should join the US-led air strike operations against Islamic State/ISIS. On the second date, more people approved of the potential UK operations, whereas fewer people disapproved or were unsure. This could be due to increased media portrayal of ISIS as violently anti-Western.
Would you approve or disapprove of the RAF taking part in air strike operations against Islamic State/ISIS?
