A new poll by Reuters in cooperation with Ipsos shows growing pessimism among Americans about the war with Iran and its economic impact.
The survey was completed Monday, shortly before US President Donald Trump suggested the war could soon end.
According to the results, 67% of respondents believe fuel prices in the US will rise significantly in the coming months - including 44% of Republican voters and 85% of Democratic voters. In addition, 60% believe US military involvement in Iran will continue for a long time.
Public support for the US strike on Iran remains limited: 29% said they support the attack, a slight increase from 27% who supported the war immediately after it began on February 28.
The poll also found that 49% of respondents expect the war to negatively affect their personal financial situation in the coming months, including 33% of Republicans and 66% of Democrats.
In recent days, global oil and fuel prices have risen significantly, though they eased somewhat after Trump said the war was “approaching its end."
