Two-thirds of Americans believe that the United States should work to end its involvement in the Iran war quickly, even if that means not achieving the goals set out by the Trump administration, a Reuters/Ipsos poll released on Tuesday found.
Some 66 percent of respondents to the poll, conducted Friday through Sunday, voiced that view, while 27 percent said the US should work to achieve all its goals in Iran, even if the conflict goes on for an extended period. Six percent did not answer the question.
Among Trump's Republicans, 40 percent supported ending the conflict quickly even if it did not achieve US goals, while 57 percent supported a longer involvement.
A total of 60 percent of respondents said they disapproved of US military strikes on Iran, while 35 percent approved in the survey of 1,021 people.
One of the war's most visible effects in the US has been the rising cost of gasoline, which rose above $4 a gallon on Monday for the first time in more than three years.
Two in three respondents said they expected gas prices to worsen over the next year, including 40 percent of Republicans.
