Trump’s Iran War Shrinks GOP Trust

A new national poll from The Argument finds only 33% of voters think entering the war with Iran was right and 55% say it was wrong, and Democrats now hold a 6‑point trust lead over Republicans on foreign policy. The article argues the war’s political damage is amplified by rising gas prices and a broader cost‑of‑living squeeze, turning a foreign policy choice into a looming electoral catastrophe for the Republican Party. — If true, the war’s unpopularity will reshape midterm dynamics, party messaging on foreign policy, and executive calculations about military escalation.
