Poll Finds Broad Disapproval of Iran War and Trump Handling Amid Deep Partisan Split

A Pew Research Center survey of 3,524 U.S. adults (Mar 16–22, 2026) shows Americans largely view the decision to use force in Iran as wrong and disapprove of President Trump's handling, with Democrats overwhelmingly opposing and Republicans mostly approving. The public also expects the conflict to last several months to a year or more and generally believes the action makes the U.S. and the world less safe, though opinions vary by age and party.

Broad backing for voter ID persists as fraud views split by party, CBS poll shows

CBS News/YouGov poll of 2,500 adults taken March 16-19, 2026, finds broad cross‑party support for photo ID to vote and for proving citizenship to register, though Democrats fear citizenship verification could bar eligible voters; Republicans are more likely to say there is widespread fraud—especially in urban/Democratic areas—but the view isn’t held by a majority; views on mail voting are mixed; most Americans prefer state or local control of elections and largely trust their own vote to be counted.

Thune Opens Protracted Battle Over GOP Voting Overhaul

The Senate will launch a multi-day push to debate the GOP’s SAVE America Act with a simple-vote to begin proceedings, but bipartisan opposition and a 60-vote threshold to end debate make passage unlikely. Republicans may offer amendments tied to Trump’s demands—such as citizenship/ID changes and other conservative provisions—raising questions about unity and keeping late-night floor work likely. Democrats plan Iran war-powers votes, and the House is moving immigration legislation, with the overall drama projected to last seven to 10 days or longer.

Senate blocks full DHS funding again, leaving shutdown in place

The Senate rejected the House-passed, full funding package for the Department of Homeland Security for the fourth time, failing to reach the 60-vote threshold and ensuring DHS remains shuttered as lawmakers leave town. Democrats had pressed for narrower bills to fund specific agencies (TSA, Coast Guard, FEMA) to reopen operations, but Republicans objected, leaving negotiations with the White House deadlocked amid broader fights over immigration enforcement guardrails.

Poll shows Americans largely oppose U.S. military action in Iran

A PBS News/NPR/Marist poll finds 56% of Americans oppose U.S. military action in Iran and 44% support it, with 54% disapproving of how Trump is handling the Iran situation (36% approve, 10% unsure). Party lines run strong: Republicans back both the president’s approach and strikes, Democrats mostly oppose, and independents tilt against handling action. About 44% view Iran as a major threat to U.S. security, 40% as a minor threat, and 15% as no threat, showing nuanced public sentiment as the conflict unfolds and debate over war powers continues.

Court Allows California’s Democratic Redistricting to Stand, Echoing GOP Gerrymandering Trends

The Supreme Court, by a one-sentence order, let California’s newly drawn, Democrat-leaning maps take effect for the 2026 elections, a move the piece frames as consistent with a broader GOP project to limit lawsuits challenging partisan and racial gerrymanders. It contrasts with earlier Texas rulings and argues justices’ decisions are shaped by ideology, political considerations, and strategic aims as much as by strict legal text. The article contends that the Court’s actions reflect a pattern of undermining anti-gerrymandering challenges, rather than a neutral application of the law, and situates the decision within ongoing debates over voting rights and partisan advantage.

Jan. 6 Hearing Sparks Partisan Clash as Congress Fights Over Spending

At the first Jan. 6 committee hearing under a GOP-led panel, Republicans pressed Democrats to explain the delay in identifying the pipe-bomb suspect and relitigated the Biden-era investigation, while Democrats defended the inquiry and noted a rare federal success—highlighting the deep partisan divide over the events of Jan. 6, 2021. The same day saw Congress advancing a two-bill funding package amid a looming shutdown, discussions on DHS body-camera requirements, and a wave of other partisan moves (stock-trading restrictions, potential megabill efforts, and oversight actions), underscoring a chaotic, high-stakes week in Washington.
