A majority of U.S. voters say the Iran war was not worth fighting, according to a new Quinnipiac poll that found deep skepticism about both the conflict and the prospects for President Donald Trump’s agreement with Tehran.

The survey found that 60% of registered voters said the war was not worth it, while 34% said it was.

Views were sharply divided by party. Among Republicans, 75% said the war was worth it, while 17% said it was not. Democrats overwhelmingly rejected the conflict, with 93% saying it was not worth it and 4% saying it was. Independents also leaned strongly against the war, with 66% saying it was not worth it compared with 29% who said it was.

The poll also found that voters are doubtful Trump’s Iran deal will succeed. Fifty-nine percent said they were not confident the agreement would hold or achieve its goals, while 37% said they were confident it would succeed.

Voters also remained pessimistic about Iran’s nuclear future. Sixty-one percent said they expect Iran to eventually acquire a nuclear weapon.

The results suggest that while Trump retains strong support from Republican voters on the Iran conflict, the broader electorate remains wary of the war and uncertain about the administration’s diplomatic outcome.

The Quinnipiac survey was conducted June 18-22 among 1,165 registered voters. It has a margin of error of plus or minus 3.4 percentage points.
