Forty-four percent of Americans said a candidate\u2019s backing of the Iran War made them less likely to vote for that candidate, while only 13 percent said it made them more likely to do so, according to a <a href=\"https:\/\/instituteforglobalaffairs.org\/2026\/11\/iran-war-poll-pre-election\/\">survey<\/a> by the Institute for Global Affairs at the Eurasia Group. Most Americans said the U.S. should prioritize avoiding higher prices in America even if that means not reaching military goals against Iran, the study found.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Oil prices have plunged since early last week as Trump has downplayed the chances of more war and the Democrats\u2019 sweeping midterms victories raised hopes that the U.S. president would be reined in.
