rel=\"noopener\">repeated instance from the outset<\/a> that the conflict would be quick.<\/p>\n<p>According to a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/iran-conflict-trump-opinion-poll\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">new poll from CBS News<\/a> out Sunday, a paltry 9 percent of Americans believe the war will wrap up with in days or weeks, whereas 37 percent think the conflict will go on for months, and another 21 percent say it will last years. (Thirty-three percent responded that they\u2019re not sure.) <\/p>\n<p>And a prolonged conflict is not what the vast majority of Americans want \u2014 according to the survey. Sixty-seven percent of respondents told CBS News pollsters they want the conflict to end now, compared to just 33 percent who think the conflict should keep going until Iran makes further concessions. <\/p>\n<p>The news is not great personally for the president either. Just 35 percent of Americans approve of his handling of Iran, and that\u2019s in large part because they don\u2019t believe he\u2019s shooting straight with the public. Sixty percent of respondents said Trump is making things sound \u201cbetter than they really are\u201d on the conflict. <\/p>\n<p>Overall, the CBS News poll pegs Trump\u2019s job approval at 39 percent. That\u2019s roughly in line with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.realclearpolling.com\/polls\/approval\/donald-trump\/approval-rating\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">other recent major poll numbers<\/a> including those from Fox News, which also put the president\u2019s approval at 39 percent, and the Washington Post \u2014 which has Trump\u2019s approval at 40 percent. <\/p>\n<p>\u2014\u2014<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>New: The Mediaite One-Sheet &#8220;Newsletter of Newsletters&#8221;<\/strong><br \/>Your daily summary and analysis of what the many, many media newsletters are saying and reporting. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mediaite.com\/subscribe\">Subscribe now!<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><script type=\"text\/javascript\">\n!function(f,b,e,v,n,t,s){if(f.fbq)return;n=f.fbq=function(){n.callMethod?\nn.callMethod.apply(n,arguments):n.queue.push(arguments)};if(!f._fbq)f._fbq=n;\nn.push=n;n.loaded=!0;n.version='2.0';n.queue=[];t=b.createElement(e);t.async=!0;\nt.src=v;s=b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];s.parentNode.insertBefore(t,s)}(window,\ndocument,'script','https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\n<\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><script async=\"async\" data-cfasync=\"false\" src=\"https:\/\/pl30214220.effectivecpmnetwork.com\/9ab3d4df8a7e1a6171e16ddbf732cc19\/invoke.js\"><\/script>\r\n<div id=\"container-9ab3d4df8a7e1a6171e16ddbf732cc19\"><\/div>\r\n<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Share &#13; Copy\u00a0Link&#13; \u00a0 A majority of Americans believe there is no immediate end to the Iran war in sight \u2014 despite President Donald Trump\u2019s repeated instance from the outset that the conflict would be quick.
