A majority of Americans believe that the United States' military action against Iran has gone too far, according to a new poll by the AP-NORC Center for Public Opinion Research.

According to the results, about 59 percent of respondents believe that American action in Iran was excessive.

At the same time, 45 percent of Americans expressed serious concern about the possibility of not being able to afford gas in the coming months, which represents a significant increase compared to previous surveys.

The issue of energy prices has proven to be a rare point of agreement between Democrats and Republicans, with majorities in both political groups considering controlling oil and gas prices a key priority.

Divided views on policy goals

Although most Americans support the goal of preventing Iran from developing nuclear weapons, there is also strong concern about the economic consequences of the conflict.

This combination of goals creates a political challenge for the administration, which is trying to balance security and economic priorities. 

Limited support for further escalation

The poll also shows that most Americans oppose additional military involvement, especially sending ground forces to Iran.

Also, a significant number of citizens express a low level of confidence in the president's ability to make the right decisions about the use of military force abroad.

Political risk for the administration

Although President Donald Trump's overall approval rating remains relatively stable, the poll results suggest that a war in Iran could become a serious political burden, especially in the context of rising fuel prices and broader economic pressure on citizens.
