Most Americans believe recent U.S. military action against Iran has gone too far, according to a new poll from The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research. The survey found that 59% of Americans say U.S. military action in Iran has been excessive as the conflict with Israel continues into its fourth week.

The poll reveals growing economic concerns related to the conflict, with 45% of Americans reporting they are extremely or very concerned about affording gasoline in the coming months, up from 30% in a poll conducted shortly after Trump's election victory. President Trump on Monday postponed an ultimatum regarding the Strait of Hormuz, which led to oil prices falling and U.S. stocks rising.

Despite criticism of the military action's scope, about two-thirds of Americans support preventing Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons as an important foreign policy goal. However, an equal number say keeping U.S. oil and gas prices from rising should also be a high priority, creating a potential policy challenge for the administration.

President Trump's overall approval rating remains at about 40%, unchanged from the previous month. His foreign policy approval stands at 34%, with 35% of Americans approving of his handling of Iran specifically. The poll shows significant partisan divisions, with about 90% of Democrats and 60% of independents saying the Iran attacks have gone too far, while Republicans are more divided.

Americans expressed limited appetite for escalating the conflict further. About 60% oppose deploying U.S. ground troops to fight Iran, including roughly 80% of Democrats and about half of Republicans. Just under half oppose airstrikes targeting Iranian leaders and military targets.

The AP-NORC poll surveyed 1,150 adults from March 19-23 with a margin of error of plus or minus 4 percentage points.
