Waltz Won't Give Iran War End Date as New Poll Shows Voter Skepticism
A new NBC News poll found most voters say the Iran war has not been worth it as Mike Waltz declined a timeline.
President Donald Trump's UN ambassador Mike Waltz declined to provide a timeline for ending the Iran war during a recent CNN interview. This comes as a new NBC News poll revealed significant skepticism among voters about the conflict, with 62% of respondents believing the war has not been worth it and 57% stating they would be less likely to support candidates backing it.
The poll also showed that 55% blamed Trump's policies for hurting the economy, and 43% of voters stated their congressional vote was intended to oppose Trump. Waltz's comments contrasted with Trump's earlier claims that the war would be resolved within weeks, and came amid mounting Republican concerns over the war's political costs, particularly in competitive midterm races.
The poll findings are seen as contributing to Republicans' broader political challenges ahead of the November elections, with Trump's approval rating at 41% and 56% disapproving of his job performance.
