Reuters-Ipsos poll shows majority of Americans favor ending war with Iran

A Reuters-Ipsos poll conducted between March 27 and March 29, 2026, reveals that 66% of 1,021 American respondents favor ending U.S. involvement in the war against Iran as soon as possible, even if government objectives remain unmet. Only 27% of those surveyed support continuing military operations until all goals are achieved, while 6% offered no response. The conflict, which began on February 28 with U.S.-Israeli strikes, has resulted in thousands of deaths and significant global economic disruption. Respondents expressed widespread concern, with 60% disapproving of current military actions, compared to 35% who support them. Within the Republican party, opinion is divided, with 40% favoring a quick end and 57% supporting continued military operations. The war has notably affected the U.S. domestic economy, causing gasoline prices to rise above 4 dollars per gallon as of March 30. Furthermore, the broader regional impact has triggered fears of rising inflation and volatile energy prices globally.
