Poll: 69% Say Iran War Not Worth It as Trump Opens Midterm Push
What happened
According to a national survey of over 2,000 adults, 69% say the war in Iran has not been worth fighting, and 26% approve of President Trump's handling of the economy. A majority of respondents also disapprove of Trump's handling of the war, with 71% expressing disapproval. The survey found that nearly half of respondents are deeply concerned about affording fuel and food.
Why it matters
The poll's findings suggest that Americans are highly dissatisfied with the war and the economy, which could impact the outcome of the midterm elections. Republican strategists are focusing on mobilizing Trump's base, while Democrats are trying to nationalize the election around prices. The war's cost and duration have become a key issue in the election.
