Poll Says Voters Prioritize Affordability and Iran Policy for Congress
An AP-NORC poll indicates that voters prioritize economic affordability and policy regarding Iran for the upcoming Congress, with less emphasis on investigating President Trump.
Shreveport Texarkana, LA, October 22, 2026 —
An AP-NORC poll indicates that voters are more focused on economic affordability and policy regarding Iran as they look to the upcoming Congress than on investigating President Trump.
The findings, as summarized, point to affordability and Iran policy as priorities for voters. They also suggest that investigating Trump receives less emphasis from voters than those two issues. The summary does not provide figures showing the level of support for any issue or how the priorities compare with one another.
Details about the poll are not included in the available summary. It does not specify when the poll was conducted, how many people were surveyed, how respondents were selected, or the margin of error. It also does not describe which aspects of economic affordability or Iran policy respondents were asked about.
The summary does not indicate what actions voters want Congress to take on either issue, or whether their views differ across demographic or political groups. It likewise provides no details about the kind of investigation into President Trump referenced in the poll.
As a result, the findings offer a broad indication of voter priorities but not enough information to assess their strength, the questions used, or how the poll’s results compare with earlier surveys. The poll’s reported contrast is limited to the stated issues: affordability and Iran policy are priorities, while investigating Trump is less emphasized.
