Poll Hub

War Cracks GOP Coalition


Listen Later

On this week’s Poll Hub, we take a closer look at a country pulled in different directions: abroad and at home.

Americans are deeply divided over the conflict with Iran. Many see the conflict as a “war of choice,” not necessity, and most say the administration hasn’t clearly explained its goals. And, amidst rising economic concerns, especially gas prices, public skepticism only grows.

That divide is especially stark along partisan lines. Republicans overwhelmingly support military action, while Democrats and independents very much oppose it. Even within the GOP, however, there are signs of tension, revealing one of the most significant internal splits in the party in years.

Next, we turn to a very different kind of story. Grandparents in America are playing a bigger role than many might expect. They’re not just part of the family, they’re caregivers, financial supporters, and everyday anchors in millions of households. From helping raise grandchildren to contributing billions of dollars each year, their impact stretches far beyond occasional visits. We break down how often grandparents provide care, how much they spend, and what this growing role says about the changing structure of American families and the pressures shaping them.

And, we finish with a step back in time, looking at what people said their favorite day was in 1952 and how those answers compare to today.
