Poll respondents said that inflation and affordability are the most important issues facing them, followed by restoring basic American values and immigration.
Poll respondents said that Trump’s most popular policies are lowering prescription drug prices for Medicare recipients and low-income patients, deporting illegal aliens who have committed crimes, and eliminating waste and fraud within the government.
About 74 percent of poll respondents said that it is in the U.S’s interest to stop Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon.
About 74 percent of poll respondents said that they support Israel over Hamas.
Nearly 80 percent of poll respondents said that Trump was right to agree to a ceasefire, while 57 percent said that the president was right to blockade the Strait of Hormuz.
About 34 percent of people who follow the conflict closely said that Iran has lost its nuclear capability, while 65 percent said that Iran is rebuilding its nuclear capability.
The poll showed that over half of the people who follow the conflict closely supported the military airstrikes in Iran, while 44 percent oppose them.
Meanwhile, voters indicated strong support for key conditions to reach a deal with Iran.
Nearly 80 percent said that Iran must stop supporting terror proxies like Hezbollah and Hamas.
Seventy-eight percent said that Iran must stop executing protesters, while 75 percent said that Iran must recognize the right of Israel to exist.
About 74 percent said that Iran must cede control of the Strait of Hormuz and never block ships or charge tolls, while 72 percent said that Iran must be limited in its production of ballistic missiles, and 71 percent said that Iran must give up the right to enrich any uranium and surrender its enriched uranium.
