A new poll indicates growing public concern in the United States about the economic and strategic impact of the Iran war, coinciding with a decline in President Donald Trump’s approval ratings. The Financial Times poll cited by multiple outlets shows that 58% of voters say the war was not worth the economic cost. The reported figure for the cost is $67 billion, and respondents question whether the expenditure has delivered sufficient benefits. The Jerusalem Post also reports that 40% of Americans believe the war leaves the US in a weaker position than it held before. NDTV reports that Trump’s approval rating falls to 36%, describing it as a record low. Overall, the polling results suggest that dissatisfaction is tied to both cost concerns and views of relative US strength after the conflict. The reports do not describe changes to official policy or battlefield developments, focusing instead on voter sentiment and approval levels reflected in the poll.
