A survey conducted in November 2026, completed on Monday, indicates that most US citizens want the newly elected US Congress to take steps to put an end to the conflict with Iran and repeal the tariffs imposed by President Donald Trump. According to data released by Reuters/Ipsos, 71% of respondents support a law that closes the conflict started in February, when Trump acted in partnership with Israel. The research also points out that 62% of Americans favor the repeal of tariffs on imports. The political scenario reflects the largest Democratic Party majorities in the Senate and the House since at least 2008, after mid-term elections held the previous week.
The Democrats will take power when the new Congress takes office on January 3, 2027. The war with Iran has dramatically raised fuel prices, aggravating inflation already fueled by the new taxes on hundreds of imported products. Trump defended the war as necessary to prevent Iran from acquiring a nuclear weapon and tariffs to boost national industry. However, Democratic leaders promise to address concerns about the cost of living and try to force an end to the war. A large majority of people in both political parties said it is important that Trump strives to work with the Democrats.
