Most say US military action against Iran has gone too far: poll

A new AP-NORC poll finds most Americans believe recent military action against Iran has gone too far and many are worried about affording gasoline. As the war launched by the U.S. and Israel continues in its fourth week, the survey indicates that while President Donald Trump’s approval rating is holding steady, the conflict could be turning into a major political liability for his Republican administration. About 59% of Americans say U.S. military action has been excessive. Meanwhile, 45% are “extremely” or “very” concerned about affording gas in the next few months, up from 30% shortly before Trump took office. However, there's significant support for Trump’s objective of preventing Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon.
