A new AP-NORC poll shows most Americans say the war in Iran has not been worth fighting. President Donald Trump’s approval rating on Iran has fallen slightly since last month. About two-thirds of U.S. adults, including a majority of Democrats and independents, and one-third of Republicans, say the war has not been worthwhile. The survey reinforces how unpopular the Iran war has become at home — a potential problem for Republicans heading into November’s midterms. Just 28% of U.S. adults now approve of how the Republican president is handling Iran, a slight decline from 34% last month. Most Americans prioritize keeping gas prices low and negotiating a ceasefire.
