A new Reuters/Ipsos survey released Tuesday shows that a strong majority of Americans want the United States to wrap up its role in the war with Iran as soon as possible, even if it means falling short of the Trump administration’s stated objectives.

According to the poll, which was conducted between Friday and Sunday, 66 percent of respondents said they support ending the conflict quickly under those conditions. By contrast, 27 percent said the U.S. should remain engaged until all of its goals in Iran are achieved, even if that prolongs the war. Another six percent did not provide an answer.

Among Republican respondents, opinions were more divided. Forty percent said they favor bringing the conflict to a close sooner rather than later, even if it means incomplete results, while 57 percent supported continuing military involvement until the objectives are fully met.

The survey also found that public opinion on U.S. airstrikes in Iran leans negative. Sixty percent of those polled said they disapprove of the strikes, while 35 percent said they support them. The poll included responses from 1,021 participants.

Rising fuel costs have emerged as one of the most noticeable domestic consequences of the conflict. Gas prices in the United States climbed above $4 per gallon on Monday for the first time in more than three years.

Looking ahead, two-thirds of respondents said they expect fuel prices to continue increasing over the next year, including 40 percent of Republicans who share that concern.
