A new poll from CBS News/YouGov, conducted between April 8 and April 10, revealed some damning findings about domestic sentiments over Trump’s war on Iran, showing that more Americans are starting to become fed up with the administration’s antics.

The poll found that most Americans feel uncomfortable with the war, with 68 percent worried, 57 percent stressed, and 54 percent angry about the conflict. The poll also found that only 32 percent feel either safe or confident about the conflict, and 29 percent feel proud about the United States’s role in it.

Americans polled said that the top priorities for the war are to reopen the Strait of Hormuz and its oil access, make sure Iran’s people are safe and free, stop the nation’s nuclear programs, and stop it from threatening other countries.

"...make sure Iran’s people are safe and free" as a concern of the American people? Give me a break, we really don't give a shit about other Americans especially.

The other goals - Trump took a sledge hammer to the Obama's Iranian deal; the Strait of Hormuz was open; and Iran may/may not have been threatening other countries like they're doing now. Trump opened Pandora's box and the crap is flowing. Combined with he doesn't have an exit strategy aside from hiding the Epstein Files information on himself.

Polls don't mean squat, let's see the results after the elections.

but I have a problem with the ‘headline:’ “Trump HUMILIATED”……………

That arrogant, disgusting pile of shit knows no such thing as humiation, shame, regret, or sorrow.
He only knows HATE and cares NOTHING about what anybody thinks of him as long as he sees his name everywhere and knows that his spiteful actions are inflicting pain and distress on others.
Oh, and that his bank account continues to grow through his graft.

Why that number of Americans angry about the war isn’t 90% is outrageous. But you know why. It’s not really affecting them now.

12. Because so many Americans do not have good news sources.

I doubt that Fox, One America, and the other right-wing sources are accurately reporting on Trump's bad decisions and framing them as such.

For real, Iran should state publicly the ONLY American they will negotiate with, IS Barrack Obama.
It's time for them to so utterly humiliate this asshole he collapses and can never recover.
