Poll: US worries rise over Middle East unrest
A Reuters/Ipsos survey shows that the majority of Americans believe that escalating military action against Iran in the Middle East could increase chaos, with 50% thinking it will destabilize the region over the next year, compared to 17% who believe it will bring stability. Additionally, most Americans are concerned about rising gasoline prices due to the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, with 58% expecting a worsening in fuel prices. Politically, the survey results indicate that Democrats are considered more capable of managing the economy, with higher levels of support compared to Republicans. Support for a war against Iran has declined, with only 35% of Americans backing it. The findings also heighten fears of escalation in other conflicts, particularly the Russia-Ukraine war and a potential China-Taiwan conflict, amid ongoing tensions in the Middle East and the financial and human losses the United States has sustained from the war with Iran.
