A Reuters/Ipsos poll finds that most Americans do not believe the United States’ war involving Iran was worth its costs. In the survey, 52% of respondents say the conflict is not worth what it has cost, while 24% say it was worth it. The poll also reports that 23% believe the US is in a stronger position with Iran after the war, whereas 35% think the US position is weaker.
The poll indicates skepticism about the durability of any truce. It reports that many Americans worry a truce with Tehran is unlikely to last, though the specific percentage is not provided in the excerpts.
The survey also measures political impact. President Donald Trump’s approval rating is reported at 34%, matching the lowest level reached during his second term, last seen in an April Reuters/Ipsos survey. The Reuters accounts describe the five-day poll as closing on Monday.
