Public sentiment appears to have shifted sharply after the signing of the Islamabad Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Iran, a pact to end hostilities for 60 days while the US and Iran negotiate terms for a permanent end to the war. Voters, however, are split on the matter, with Democrats overwhelmingly feeling it wasn't worth it (93 percent) while 75 percent of Republicans felt the war was worth it.
