60% of voters think U.S. military action against Iran was not worth it: Poll

A majority of American voters think U.S. military action in Iran was not worth it, according to a new Quinnipiac poll.

Sixty percent of voters think the U.S. military action wasn’t worth it, while 34% think it was worth it, according to the poll. An overwhelming number of Democrats (93%) believe it was not worth it, while 75% of Republicans think it was worth it. Independents fall at a 66-29% split against the action.

“After months of diplomatic fits and starts, global economic repercussions and a broad loss of life in the region, a majority of voters make their feelings clear: the Iran war was a bad idea,” Quinnipiac University Polling Analyst Tim Malloy said in a statement.

The poll also asked voters what they thought about the Iran memorandum of understanding. Some 59% of respondents are either not so confident or not confident at all that the deal will work, according to the poll. Also, 61% of respondents said it was very likely or somewhat likely Iran will develop nuclear weapons.

Only 38% of voters approve of how President Trump is handling his job as president.
