Summary

  • 57% of Americans say the U.S. decision to go to war in Iran was wrong, versus 27% who say it was right, according to the latest Economist/YouGov poll.
  • 77% of MAGA Republicans support the war, while opposition dominates among Democrats at 89% and independents at 85%; non-MAGA Republicans have flipped from net support in April to net opposition now.
  • 60% of Americans still disapprove of Trump's handling of Iran, roughly double the share who approve, a balance that has changed little since late April.
  • 46% now expect the war to last at least another year, the highest share since the conflict began, while only 8% think it will end within a month or is already over.
  • 65% want the U.S. to strike a deal to end the war as soon as possible, but only 36% would accept ending it if Iran keeps its enriched uranium.
