A new Reuters/Ipsos poll indicates that a majority of Americans desire the incoming Democratic-controlled US Congress to prioritize ending the conflict with Iran and repealing tariffs implemented by President Donald Trump.
The poll, which concluded on Monday, found that 71% of Americans, including a significant portion of both Democrats and Republicans, support legislative action to cease the war with Iran. This conflict was initiated by President Trump in February, alongside Israel.
Democrats secured substantial majorities in both the Senate and the House of Representatives in the recent midterm elections. This outcome is seen as a rejection of President Trump’s Republican party, with voters expressing dissatisfaction over the high cost of living and the unpopular war.
Following their election defeats, Republicans expressed differing views on the results. Some, like Senator Jim Justice, stated they had anticipated the outcome, while others, such as Congressman Warren Davidson, admitted the magnitude of the losses was unexpected. Senator John Curtis acknowledged public anger and disappointment with the party’s performance.
