A new Associated Press-NORC Research Center survey finds that a majority of Americans do not believe the U.S.-Israeli conflict involving Iran is worth continuing. Released Thursday, the poll reports that 64% of U.S. adults say the ongoing fighting is “not worth” the risks, while 33% say it is worth it. Both outlets describe the result as showing broad public skepticism about the cost of fighting tied to Iran. The reporting also notes that the survey comes as President Trump considers policy options ranging from pursuing harsher strikes to pursuing a diplomatic exit from the conflict. The Hill adds that majorities of Democrats and independents—87%—view the war as not worth the risks, indicating that opposition is not limited to one political group. The Washington Times characterizes the overall finding as “nearly two-thirds” and ties the timing to current White House decision-making. The survey reflects Americans’ views on whether the conflict is justified relative to the perceived dangers, rather than assessing battlefield outcomes.
