According to the Post, that aligns with the 59% who viewed the Iraq war as a mistake in a May 2006 Post/ABC survey. A Gallup survey conducted in 1971 revealed that around six out of ten Americans expressed similar sentiments regarding the Vietnam war.
Approximately 90% of Democrats view the military intervention in Iran as a blunder, along with 71% of independents and 19% of Republicans.
Opinions are divided on America’s future actions, as 48% of the public believe the US should pursue a peace agreement with Iran, even if it leads to a less favorable deal for the US, while 46% argue that the US should demand a better deal from Iran, even if that entails restarting military operations.
Regarding the economy: The survey reveals that 23%, approximately one in four Americans, report they are struggling financially — an increase from 17% in February. An additional 52% state they have sufficient resources to sustain their quality of life, while 24% report that they are making progress.
Regarding the effects of elevated gas prices: The survey revealed that 44% stated they’ve reduced their driving, 42% indicated they’ve lowered household spending, and 34% reported altering travel or vacation arrangements. Fifty percent of Americans believe that gas prices will worsen in the coming year, whereas just 21% think they will improve.
The poll conducted by The Washington Post/ABC News/Ipsos included 2,560 adults from the US between April 24-28, utilizing a panel that represents the national demographic. Results for the entire sample exhibit a sampling error margin of +/- 2 percentage points.
