After President Donald Trump ordered a deadly strike on Iran's most important military leader, most Americans (55%) feel less safe, according to a new USA Today/Ipsos poll.

The poll also found that a majority of Americans (53%) support Congress taking action to limit Trump's ability to order military strikes or declare war without legislative approval.

The House on Thursday was set to vote on a resolution designed to limit Trump's ability to take military action against Iran without congressional approval, per the War Powers Act of 1973.

Though President Donald Trump and his advisers have contended taking out Iran's top general made the US more safe, a majority of Americans do not feel that way, according to a USA Today/Ipsos poll released on Thursday.

The poll found 55% of Americans believe the US drone strike that killed Maj. Gen. Qassem Soleimani has made the US less safe — this included nearly a third of Republicans. Only 24% of Americans believe the strike made the country more safe, the poll said, and a majority of Americans (52%) also said Trump's behavior with Iran was "reckless."

The poll also found that 52% of Americans believe the attack would make Iran more likely to develop nuclear weapons, 69% said Iran would be more likely to attack US interests in the Middle East, while 63% said there would be terrorist attacks on the American homeland, and 62% said the US and Iran would go to war.

Since the deadly strike on Soleimani, Iran has withdrawn from the 2015 nuclear deal and retaliated via a missile attack on US and coalition forces in Iraq. There were no casualties in the attack, which contributed to Trump's decision to accept an off-ramp away from a wider conflict that had been extended by Iran following the incident earlier this week. But that does not mean the US-Iran confrontation has ceased to exist.

As House Democrats move to limit Trump's war powers in relation to Iran, the USA Today/Ipsos poll also found that a majority of Americans (53%) support Congress taking action to limit Trump's ability to order military strikes or declare war without legislative approval. This includes 78% of Democrats, 26% of Republicans and 54% of independents.

In terms of the "wisdom" of the strike, the poll found: 42% supported it, 33% opposed it; 25% said they didn't know what to think. And 47% of those surveyed said they believed Trump ordered the strike to take attention away from his impeachment, while 39% did not.

Other polls also revealed more approval than disapproval for the strike, but also showed Americans generally leaned toward wanting more congressional involvement.

According to a Politico/Morning Consult poll released on Wednesday, 47% of Americans approve of Trump's decision to order the strike on Soleimani, while 40% disapprove. That poll also found 49% felt "Trump should have sought congressional approval before moving forward with the airstrike in Baghdad," and 37% said he was "correct to move forward...without congressional approval."
