WASHINGTON (Sputnik) - Half of US citizens believe that a conflict between the United States and Iran would lead to serious destabilization in the Middle East over the next year, a poll conducted jointly by Reuters and Ipsos revealed on Thursday.
On Wednesday, US President Donald Trump said he still wanted to reach a peace deal with Tehran.
At the same time, 17% of respondents believe the conflict would increase stability in the region, while 16% said it would stay at the same level, the poll showed.
The poll also revealed that just 35% of US citizens approve of the ongoing conflict.
Besides, the total of 58% of respondents believe that gas prices will increase due to the conflict, and only 15% expect the situation to improve.
The six-day poll was conducted through August 3 among 4,505 US adults. The margin of error is two percentage points.
