The US military conflict with Iran has become the most unpopular war in the history of American polling, according to a new survey by The Economist.
Six months after hostilities began, President Donald Trump faces a severe political backlash as the conflict shows no signs of resolution and public support has eroded to unprecedented levels.
The poll underscores the growing disconnect between the administration’s strategic objectives and domestic sentiment.
While the White House maintains that military pressure is necessary to curb Iranian nuclear ambitions and regional influence, the American public is increasingly focused on the economic and human costs of the engagement.
The survey indicates that a majority of respondents now view the war negatively, with approval ratings for the conflict dipping below those of previous major military interventions.
This political headwind coincides with persistent economic strain.
