The president's war on Iran has become a pocketbook issue. About four in five Americans (79%) say the war has affected their cost of living at least some, and more than half (62%) say it's become harder to pay the bills in the past six months. That's according to a new survey that we as the @InGlobalAffairs fielded in late April in partnership with @YouGov. We asked 1,000 voting-age Americans about the president's approach to Iran, Israel, and the Western Hemisphere, among other urgent national security issues. Some of the responses challenge the conventional wisdom of how foreign policy impacts electoral politics. A few numbers that stood out to me: A majority (56%) say the war affects who they support in elections, including more than a third (36%) who say it does so a great deal. Asked about the $1 trillion-plus military budget, more want lawmakers to decrease (55%) military spending than those that want to maintain (33%) or increase (12%) it combined. In recent years, IGA has fielded an annual survey of American public attitudes. But this administration's wars are moving so quickly that we decided to do quicker polling and a faster pace, and this is part of an ongoing series polls that get to understand perceptions of this war presidency. Let us know what you think — and be in touch if you're the type of wonk who wants to jump into the cross tabs! Link below. (Art by Jordanian cartoonist @EmadHajjaj via @cartoonmovement )
