Iran War Deeply Unpopular in Polls, Trump Claims Otherwise
Polls show the Iran war is one of the most unpopular in US history, which is bad news for Trump and Republicans heading into the midterms.
- The war's approval sits 40 points underwater, with 68% of Americans saying it wasn't worth it β worse than the Iraq war.
- Even Trump's own base is souring: most MAGA voters blame the war for rising gas prices, with oil close to $100 a barrel.
- Republicans have lost their edge on their strongest issues β Democrats now lead on the economy, inflation, and even immigration.
- Senate races once seen as safe, like Maine and Iowa, are slipping as gas prices and war fatigue hit rural voters.
Outlook: Gas prices and war anger point to a large Democratic wave in the midterms, and ending the war now likely won't reverse the damage.
