Today's Poll Question: Does Beating Trump Matter More Than Beating Iran?

from The Smerconish Podcast · host Michael Smerconish

Today's Poll Question at Smerconish.com: "For those who oppose President Trump, which matters more, his political defeat or a US victory against Iran?" Michael Smerconish reacts to a striking poll result showing most respondents don’t believe the U.S. is winning in Iran—and asks whether political bias is shaping that perception. He explores competing narratives about the conflict, media framing, and whether partisan divides are influencing how Americans assess national success abroad. The episode raises an uncomfortable but revealing question: in a hyper-polarized era, can political opposition outweigh national interest? Listen here, then vote!
