Poll Asks Americans If They Think Iran War’s ‘Worth Fighting.’ The Results Are Brutal

Republican support for the Iran war is waning as polling numbers show the ongoing conflict has become increasingly unpopular.

A July 23-27 AP-NORC survey found that a majority — 64% — of U.S. adults not think the war has been “worth fighting,” the Associated Press reported Thursday. The poll was conducted starting on the final day of 13 consecutive nights of U.S. strikes on Iran.

Fighting resumed on July 28 after the survey concluded, according to a U.S. Central Command press release.

Among those polled, 37% of Republicans said the war was “not worth fighting,” compared to 87% of Democrats and 68% of independents, the AP-NORC data showed.

When asked what the US should do about Iran, 48% of Republicans answered that the “U.S. should continue military action against Iran,” more than double the 23% of total U.S. adults that answered the same, according to AP-NORC. Just 4% of Democrats agreed.

“What matters most to the American people is having a Commander in Chief who takes bold action to keep them safe, which is exactly what President Trump is doing,” White House Assistant Press Secretary Olivia Wales told the Daily Caller News Foundation.

Nearly two-thirds of Americans believe the Iran conflict is not worth it, per AP-NORC poll.
