Donald Trump shares a poll on Truth Social to justify his handling of the war in Iran, but the article is outdated and incomplete.

The majority of Americans oppose the war and criticize the rising fuel prices.

This unpopularity poses a threat to Republicans in the midterm elections.

Les sondages ont tout pour inquiéter Trump avant les midterms

A poll shared on Wednesday by PBS News shows that 60% of Americans—and over one in five Republican voters—are opposed to how their president is handling the situation in Iran. Even worse, 63% of the population blames the White House for the surge in fuel prices.

The Ipsos poll for multiple media outlets, including the Washington Post, also published on Wednesday, reveals that 61% of Americans believe that using military force against Iran was a mistake.

Many American media outlets believe that the unpopularity of the war in Iran and the resultant price surge could cost Donald Trump and his camp dearly in the November 3 midterms.

Even at the beginning of April, Republican sources cited by Politico expressed fears that the war might have doomed them to defeat.
