but yeah, it was pretty universal. Not surprising following Pearl Harbor. Of course, that did not include war against Germany at the time, they declared war on us. Not Hitler's brightest moment, as we probably would not have joined the Eurpean war for several, if not many months. Not a lot of support for another European war at the time, and a surprisingly vocal bloc that was pro-Nazi.
