AP-NORC Poll: Iran War, Gas Costs Strain Trump's GOP Base Ahead of Midterms

While 81% of Republicans support preventing Iran's nuclear weapons, rising gas prices worry 60% of GOP voters, risking reduced enthusiasm for Trump in a crucial midterm year.

  • A new poll shows 63% of Republicans support airstrikes against Iranian military targets, but only 20% support deploying American ground troops.
  • About 6 in 10 Republicans say they're at least somewhat concerned about being able to afford gas in the next few months as gas prices have soared since the Iran war began.
  • Although around three-quarters of Republicans approve of Trump's handling of the presidency and Iran, a prolonged war with high gas prices could test some Republicans' support for him.
