AP-NORC Poll Finds Voters Prioritize Living Costs and Iran War
A new AP-NORC poll indicates that voters nationwide want the next Congress to focus on lowering living costs and ending the war in Iran, rather than on investigating or supporting President Trump's agenda.

Detroit, MI, October 22, 2026 —
A new AP-NORC poll indicates that voters nationwide want the next Congress to prioritize lowering living costs and ending the war in Iran, rather than focusing on investigations or supporting President Trump’s agenda.
The findings point to voters’ stated priorities for the next Congress, but the information available does not include specific poll results or details about how respondents ranked the issues. It also does not specify when the poll was conducted, how many people took part, or how the survey was carried out.
The summary of the poll does not break down responses by political affiliation, region, age or other demographic groups. It also does not provide details about what voters mean by lowering living costs, or what actions they expect Congress to take regarding the war in Iran. Those details are not available in the information provided.
The poll’s findings contrast voters’ reported priorities with two other possible areas of congressional focus: investigating and supporting the president’s agenda. The available description does not clarify whether respondents were asked to choose among those options, whether they could name multiple priorities, or how strongly they favored one issue over another.
AP-NORC is identified as the source of the poll, but no additional information about its methodology, margin of error or publication date was provided. Without those details, the poll’s precise results and the strength of the reported preferences cannot be assessed from the summary alone.
The stated takeaway is that voters nationwide want the next Congress to address living costs and the war in Iran ahead of investigations or support for Trump’s agenda. The information provided does not include further findings or indicate what lawmakers may do in response.
