A POLITICO/Public First poll finds MAGA voters’ support for the Iran war has fallen to just over a third, down from about 50% in May, with 37% willing to continue only if costs don’t rise and nearly 1 in 5 wanting to end the war regardless of costs; non‑MAGA Trump voters and the broader public are more opposed, signaling growing anxiety about affordability and foreign policy ahead of the midterms.

The results illustrate the tricky calculus candidates face in a polarized environment when accepting endorsements.
