Brutal new CBS poll: Was the War in Iran Worth It? [View all]

Asked what the U.S. should do now, 78% said we should end the war now, 22% said we should continue until Iran gives up more. In response to a question about one of the trump administration's stated goals: has the U.S. permanently stopped Iran's nuclear progress? 31% yes, 69% no.

And the bottom line: Was the war worth it? 31% yes, 69% no.

Yes, trump was desperate to get out. Even he can't ignore numbers like this, and the pressure that Rs must have put on him.
