Most Say Iran War Has Proven More Of A Struggle Than Expected

It’s been almost five full months since the start of the war in Iran, and a new survey finds roughly 80 percent believe the Trump administration has struggled more than expected. About two in ten respondents of the CBS News/YouGov poll said the war has gone as smoothly as anticipated, while only four percent believe the administration has had an easier time.

When President Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu launched the campaign in late February, Trump predicted it would take four to six weeks to dismantle Iran’s nuclear and ballistic missile programs.
