> A YouGov poll conducted before the 2026 US midterms found 44 percent of respondents less likely to support candidates who backed the war on Iran, compared with 13 percent more likely. Fifty-six percent said avoiding higher domestic prices should take priority over achieving Trump’s military goals, and a majority said Congress should decide when the war ends.
