Iran War Becomes America's Least Popular
A lot of people in America don't like the war with Iran.
Polls show that most think it will last a long time, and almost half think it will go on for a year or more.
Not many people are happy about it.
The president's decision to start the war is not very popular, with more people disapproving than approving.
It's become unpopular faster than the Vietnam War did a long time ago.
80% of Americans think the Iran war will last an extended period.
47% believe the war will last a year or more.
Net approval for Trump's decision to attack Iran is at -30%.
The war has become as reviled as the Vietnam War did in six years, but in just six months.
Public opinion is largely negative regarding the war's duration and the decision to attack Iran.
