The Daily Beast • • nation
Key Points:
- President Donald Trump's stance on the Iran conflict and rising gas prices has become highly unpopular, with 55% of Republican voters blaming him for high gas prices, according to CNN analyst Harry Enten.
- A CNBC poll found that nearly half of voters feel less safe due to the war, and 64% believe the conflict is not worth the higher gas prices, with only 34% supporting the war despite increased fuel costs.
- Gas prices have surged nearly 50% since the war began, reaching $4.39 per gallon, while Trump insists prices will drop sharply once the conflict ends, though no resolution appears imminent.
- Enten highlighted that 61% of voters consider the Iran war a mistake, noting the rapid decline in public support compared to longer timelines for disapproval in the Iraq and Vietnam wars.
- Polls indicate 77% of Americans hold Trump responsible for rising gas prices, a higher percentage than those who blamed previous presidents such as Biden, Obama, or George W. Bush.
