Americans Poll on Iran War
Analysis based on 7 articles · First reported Mar 19, 2026 · Last updated Mar 19, 2026
The ongoing conflict between the United States and Iran, with potential for a large-scale ground war, has sent energy prices sharply higher, raising concerns of a resurgence in inflation that could negatively impact stock markets. Disruptions to energy supplies from Iran are critical to the global economy.
A Reuters/Ipsos poll indicates that 65% of Americans believe U.S. President Donald Trump will order troops into a large-scale ground war in Iran, though only 7% support the idea. The United States and Israel attacked Iran on February 28, leading to over 2,000 deaths and retaliatory strikes from Iran. The Donald Trump administration is considering deploying thousands of U.S. troops to the Middle East, potentially to secure the Strait of Hormuz or target Iran — Kharg Island, a key oil export hub for Iran. This conflict has already caused energy prices to rise and fueled inflation concerns, impacting global stock markets. Donald Trump's Republican Party largely supports the war, while the Democratic Party disapproves, and some within the MAGA movement fear negative consequences for the upcoming United States midterm elections.
