Miami Fort Lauderdale, FL, July 30, 2026 —

A recent poll indicates that a majority of Americans now believe the ongoing conflict in Iran has not been worth the cost. The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research poll, conducted between July 23 and July 27, found that approximately two-thirds of U.S. adults hold this sentiment.

The findings suggest a notable shift in public opinion, with a significant portion of Republicans also expressing the view that the war has not been worthwhile. This sentiment coincides with a period of heightened tensions and subsequent de-escalation in attacks between the United States and Iran.

The poll also noted a slight decrease in President Trump’s approval rating concerning his administration’s handling of the conflict. While the specific percentage change in approval was not detailed in the provided summary, the trend indicates a correlation between public perception of the war’s value and the president’s standing on the issue.

These public opinion results emerge following a recent escalation in hostilities, which included a pause in attacks. Tragically, this period of increased activity also resulted in the deaths of additional U.S. service members. The exact number of service members lost or details of the specific attacks were not provided in the trend summary.

The AP-NORC poll surveyed U.S. adults on their views regarding the conflict in Iran. The results highlight a prevailing sentiment that the objectives and outcomes of the war do not justify the resources and lives invested. Further details regarding the methodology and demographic breakdown of the poll respondents were not included in the summary.
