Americans Hold Conflicting Views on the Iran War

A new CBS News poll shows majorities of Americans think it’s important for the U.S. to end the war as soon as possible (92 percent), guarantee the freedom of Iranians (80 percent), end Iran’s nuclear programs for good (73 percent) and end the war without Iran’s current leaders in power (53 percent).

Americans overall think that the war is going badly — and, by a 2-to-1 margin, they’re not willing to pay more for gas.
