Following the US midterm elections that saw Democrats take control of Congress, a new poll by Reuters/Ipsos reveals that 71% of Americans support legislation to end the ongoing conflict with Iran and repeal tariffs imposed by President Trump. The findings suggest strong public demand for action on issues that have been weighing heavily on household budgets. The war in Iran has pushed fuel prices higher, contributing to inflationary pressures due to the tariffs imposed on hundreds of imported goods. While voters are divided over the possibility of impeaching President Trump, nine in ten Americans want Congress to prioritize cost-of-living issues during its first 100 days. The poll also indicates that the Democratic Party still has work to do in gaining broad public popularity, with only 45% viewing them favorably compared to 35% for the Republicans.

The poll also revealed that nine in ten Americans want Congress to prioritize cost-of-living issues during its first 100 days. This reflects the increasing focus on living costs among voters, with the war in Iran and tariffs contributing to higher fuel prices and inflationary pressures. Despite the political divide, large majorities across both parties agreed that President Trump should make an effort to work with Democrats and Democratic leaders in Congress should also try to work with the president. However, voters remain divided on how far Democrats should go in confronting Trump, with 42% saying it would be bad for the country if the new Congress tried to impeach the president, while 33% said such a move would be good for the country.
