“"A new poll released as Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth faces possible impeachment shows 7 in 10 Americans — and even about half of Republicans — want Congress to vote to end the Iran war. ... The survey also showed that 62% of Americans — including 32% of Republicans — want Congress to pass legislation ending Trump's tariffs." — Aaron Blake, CNN analysis, live updates, Nov. 10, 2026”

Why we rated it this way: The topline shows 71% of all adults support the new Congress "passing legislation to end the conflict with Iran," including 51% of Republicans and 93% of Democrats, and 62% support legislation to eliminate the Trump administration's tariffs, including 32% of Republicans. It also shows 33% say impeachment efforts against Trump would be good for the country and 42% bad, as CNN reports. The question asked about passing legislation, not about any specific method such as cutting funds or impeaching Hegseth, which CNN itself notes.
