Reuters/Ipsos poll finds 71% want Congress to end Trump's Iran war
National poll reports majority support for congressional action against the Iran war and Trump tariffs; no legislation, vote, policy reversal or legal disposition is establishedA Reuters/Ipsos poll completed November 9 found that 71% of U.S. adults wanted Congress to pass legislation ending the Iran war launched by President Donald Trump and Israel, Reuters reported November 10. The figure included 93% of Democrats and 51% of Republicans. Sixty-two percent supported an effort to repeal Trump's import tariffs. The survey also found 90% wanted cost-of-living issues prioritized during the new Congress's first 100 days and measured Trump's overall approval at 32%. These are survey responses, not congressional action or proof that the war, blockade, tariffs or other administration policies have changed.
Reuters reported that Trump has defended the war as necessary to prevent Iran from acquiring a nuclear weapon and has argued that tariffs protect American industry. In separate November 9 remarks, Trump said the war was militarily 'effectively over' while keeping the blockade and U.S. force posture in place; no ceasefire, troop withdrawal or completed agreement was announced. The reviewed sources did not include a direct Trump response to the new poll. Ipsos says the survey used its probability-based KnowledgePanel, weighted the results to national benchmarks and has a plus-or-minus 2.4 percentage-point margin of sampling error for the full sample; subgroup margins are larger. The public topline available during this review did not display the war-ending or tariff-repeal questions and said questions were held for future release, so those specific figures are attributed to Reuters's report of its own poll.
