## Resource

Today's Poll Question at Smerconish.com: How much longer will war with Iran last? Michael examines whether the U.S.-Iran conflict is approaching an end or settling into a prolonged confrontation. With attacks paused and mediators reporting progress toward renewed negotiations, President Trump says talks are going well—but warns military action could resume. New CBS polling reveals widespread uncertainty, frustration and a belief that the conflict has been harder than expected. Michael breaks down how Democrats, Republicans and independents differ on whether America should end the fighting now or continue until Iran makes further concessions. Plus, Joe Manchin’s effort to recruit a new generation of independent political leaders. Thank you for rating, reviewing and sharing this podcast. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
