US Public Support for Iran Conflict Drops to Lowest Level Amid Ongoing Tensions
Support for the US military operation against Iran has declined to 31%, the lowest since the conflict began in February, according to a Reuters Ipsos poll. The drop is mainly due to fewer Republicans backing the war, with their support falling from 77% in March to 69%. President Donald Trump's approval rating remains low amid rising gasoline prices and ongoing tensions. While Trump defends the conflict as necessary to prevent Iran's nuclear development, public skepticism grows as the conflict continues into its sixth month.
