According to the published data, US voters consider ending the war with Iran to be one of their top priorities with 71% of respondents stating they would support lawmakers’ measures to end hostilities. Both Democratic (93%) and Republican (51%) voters say they are anti-Iran war. The poll also showed that 24% of respondents opposed the move while another 5% chose not to answer.
