A new Reuters/Ipsos poll finds that 50% of Americans believe U.S. military strikes in the Middle East will worsen regional stability, with a sharp partisan divide. Only 17% say the strikes will improve stability, while 58% expect gas prices to worsen, according to the survey.
A new Reuters/Ipsos poll published early Friday surveyed American attitudes toward the ongoing U.S. military campaign against Iran. Half of respondents said the strikes will worsen regional stability, while only 17% saw improvement. The survey also found that 58% expect higher gas prices in the United States, and a clear partisan split underpins the findings. The poll was released as U.S. forces continue operations against Iranian targets, a campaign The Zioneer has reported on since its early July escalation. Previous polls covering Israeli public opinion, cited by The Zioneer, have shown similar skepticism about the war's broader benefits, though the current survey focuses exclusively on American views.
