Poll Shows Majority Oppose Iran War as Democrats Gain in 2026 US Midterms
A 2026 Associated Press exit poll during the US midterm elections found about six in 10 voters believe the US made the wrong decision by launching military action against Iran. Roughly one-third said the Iran war was a crucial factor in their congressional vote, though concerns over the cost of living and government corruption ranked higher. President Donald Trump acknowledged the conflict contributed to Republican losses, while Iranian officials interpreted the results as a public rejection of the war. Democrats gained control of both chambers, potentially increasing congressional oversight of the conflict.
