The latest public opinion polls show that the pressure of energy costs caused by the Iran war is rapidly spreading to the United States. Reuters and Ipsos surveys found that most Americans say the rise in gasoline prices since the war began has already affected them at least to some extent. Nearly 90% of respondents expect oil prices to continue rising. At the same time, Trump's approval rating on the "cost of living" issue is only 29%, indicating that concerns over prices have become a clear weakness in his administration. Regarding the military action against Iran itself, public opinion in the United States also tends to be cautious or even opposed. A new poll from Emerson College shows that 47% of potential voters oppose the U.S. military action against Iran, while 40% support it, indicating that this war is not popular among Americans, although the opposition is not yet overwhelming. In the same survey, Trump's overall approval rating was 42%. On the indicator of midterm congressional elections, the Democrats lead in the generic ballot by 7 percentage points.
