CBS vs. CBS: Public Sees Iran War Going Badly — Yet Oppose Leaving Regime in Power

CBS News released a poll regarding the ongoing Iran War, showing that 57% of respondents believe the conflict is going 'somewhat or very badly' for the United States. Economic concerns are a primary driver of this sentiment, with 90% of Americans expecting the conflict to raise oil and gas prices in the short term. Despite the negative outlook on the war's progress, 53% of the public says it would be 'unacceptable' to leave the current Iranian regime in power. The Trump administration has faced criticism for the lack of a definitive timeline for the conflict, though supporters argue that military objectives, including the destruction of Iranian military capabilities and securing the Strait of Hormuz, are being pursued effectively.
