Americans seek end to Iran war and repeal of Trump tariffs

A Reuters/Ipsos poll indicates that 71% of Americans want the new Congress to pass legislation to end the war in Iran. Support for this measure is widespread across party lines, with 93% of Democrats and 51% of Republicans in favor.

Additionally, 62% of respondents support the repeal of tariffs imposed by the Trump administration. The conflict in Iran, which began following US-Israeli strikes in February, has contributed to rising energy prices and inflationary pressures, compounding the economic impact of existing tariffs.

Regarding domestic priorities, 90% of those surveyed believe addressing the high cost of living should be the top priority for the new Congress during its first 100 days. While Democrats secured majorities in both chambers of Congress following the recent midterm elections, some voters expressed concern regarding potential political friction, with 42% stating it would be “bad for the country” if Congress initiated impeachment proceedings against Trump.
