Republican support for Iran war drops more than 10 points, polls show

  • Republican candidates and senators called for ending the nearly seven-month Iran war.
  • Republican approval fell from 73% to 60% in a CNN-SSRS poll.
  • Democrats are expected to force a House-passed troop-withdrawal resolution vote later this week.

Republican support for the nearly seven-month war in Iran is weakening as voters blame the conflict for higher gas prices and GOP Senate candidates distance themselves from it. Jon Husted, Mike Rogers, Ashley Hinson and other Republicans have called for a swift end, while Speaker Mike Johnson urged a resolution. Polling shows approval among self-identified Republicans for President Trump’s handling of the conflict fell from 73% in March to 60%, while 71% of registered voters said Trump lacks a clear strategy for ending the war. Several Republican senators are expected to support a House-passed war powers resolution directing Trump to withdraw troops, and the measure could gain additional GOP votes. Republicans including Jim Justice and Thom Tillis have cited the conflict’s economic costs and uncertain objective, while Senate Majority Leader John Thune said many Republicans want it concluded quickly. Democrats are expected to force a vote later this week. Centrist Democrat John Fetterman is expected to oppose the measure with Republicans, while GOP candidates are being urged to respond to their constituents and shape their own campaign messages.
