How the Iran War Looms Over the Midterms
In the months since the Iran war began, polling has shown falling U.S. public support for the war, the president, and his party.
Less than a year before the 2026 U.S. midterm elections, President Donald Trump initiated a bombing campaign of Iran, involving U.S. forces alongside Israeli troops.
