71% of Americans want Congress to end Iran conflict, Reuters/Ipsos poll finds

A Reuters/Ipsos poll shows 71% of Americans want Congress to end the military confrontation with Iran, with 62% also supporting repeal of tariffs. The survey highlights bipartisan desire for de-escalation amid economic concerns.

A new Reuters/Ipsos poll, released today (Tuesday), reveals that 71% of Americans demand Congress act to stop the war with Iran. The majority includes 93% of Democratic supporters and 51% of Republicans. The poll comes amid the Republican midterm defeat last week, where Democrats gained a majority in both houses of Congress, pledging to force an end to the campaign. Opposition to the war is linked to economic consequences: soaring fuel prices and worsening inflation. 62% of Americans support canceling tariffs imposed by the administration. Nine out of ten respondents emphasized that addressing the cost of living must be the focus of the first 100 days of the new Congress. Despite low satisfaction with Trump (32%), 42% oppose impeachment proceedings against him, compared to 33% who support them. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is expected to face an impeachment vote in the House this week.
