Multiple reports cite a Financial Times poll indicating growing public skepticism in the United States about the economic impact of the Iran war and related decisions attributed to President Donald Trump. The NDTV report says 58% of voters believe the conflict was not worth the $67 billion economic cost, and it adds that Trump’s approval declines to 36%. The Jerusalem Post similarly reports that 58% of respondents do not consider the war economically worthwhile. It also states that 40% of voters say the war leaves the United States in a weaker position than before the conflict. Taken together, the accounts describe a shift in voter sentiment, with a majority questioning the value of the war relative to its price and a substantial share expressing concern about its strategic outcomes. The reports characterize the poll results as contributing to record-low approval levels for Trump, based on the survey figures each outlet presents.
