Nearly two-thirds of Americans want the United States to seek a rapid end to the conflict with Iran, even if it means leaving without achieving stated military objectives, according to a new Reuters/Ipsos poll that signals growing war fatigue across partisan lines.

The poll, published Tuesday by Reuters, found that 67% of Americans support ending military operations in the coming months, regardless of whether the administration accomplishes its goals of degrading Iranian military infrastructure and deterring future attacks on U.S. forces in the region.

The findings echo public opinion dynamics from the final years of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars, when Americans across the political spectrum increasingly prioritized bringing troops home over achieving strategic victory. In 2021, polling showed similar two-thirds majorities supporting withdrawal from Afghanistan even as military leaders warned of consequences for abandoning the mission.

The partisan breakdown reveals surprising consensus: 71% of Democrats support a quick end to the conflict, along with 64% of independents and 61% of Republicans. That near-unanimity is rare in contemporary American politics, where foreign policy questions typically divide along party lines.

"Americans are telling Washington the same thing they said about Iraq and Afghanistan: we're done," said Loren DeJonge Schulman, a former National Security Council official now at the Center for a New American Security. "The public has lost patience with open-ended military commitments in the Middle East, regardless of which party is in power."

The poll results come as Congress debates the administration's request for $47 billion in supplemental funding to sustain operations against Iranian-aligned forces. Defense officials have testified that the conflict has already cost American taxpayers more than $80 billion since military operations began, not including long-term care for wounded service members or equipment replacement costs.

For swing-state voters, the numbers are particularly stark. In , , and —states that will likely decide the 2028 presidential election—support for ending the conflict runs even higher, approaching 70% in some demographics. Veterans' groups in those states have been vocal in opposing prolonged engagement, citing the toll of two decades of post-9/11 wars on military families.
