What’s More Unpopular Than Starting a War?

A more detailed University of Maryland Critical Issues Poll confirms that the American public wants this war to end. And 58 percent of Americans say the Iran war has impacted American interests more negatively than positively. Even a plurality of Republicans say the war’s impact has been net negative (by 32 percent to 27 percent). But that argument will fall flat if Democrats argue that the best way to support our troops is to end Trump’s reckless and foolish war. The trouble is—has been all along—that when it comes to Iran, Trump has no escape hatch.
