Summary
A Reuters/Ipsos poll found support for US military action against Iran fell to 31%, down from 34% earlier this month and 37% in March.
Republican backing also weakened to 69% from 77% in March, while 33% of respondents again approved of Trump’s job performance, matching his record low.
Petrol prices are now more than $1 a gallon above prewar levels after Iran’s de facto regional oil-export blockade, reinforcing economic anxiety tied to the conflict.
Eighty-three percent of respondents expect a lengthy war, a political risk for Trump and Republicans ahead of November’s midterms as independents currently lean Democratic 33% to 19%.
