A CBS News/YouGov poll released June 21 found that a majority of respondents believe the Iran war has created more problems than it solved.
A poll of 2,519 U.S. adults conducted June 17-19 found that 57% believed the war caused more problems than it solved, while 21% disagreed and another 21% said they were “neutral.” The poll has a margin of error of plus or minus 2.4 percentage points.
The poll also found that 78% of Americans think the US should end the conflict now, while 22% think the US should continue the conflict until Iran makes further abandonment. That majority includes 60% of Republicans and 56% of MAGA Republicans who agree that the United States should end the war now. The first round of Iran peace talks concluded in Switzerland on June 22, with both parties announcing they had agreed on a roadmap to reach a final agreement within 60 days.
