Occurrence 1 of 1 · source record #6236 The Young Turks · More Troops Wounded - March 10, 2026
Original quoteSo the minute we start taking significant casualties, which we now have reports that 150 Americans have been wounded that just dropped right before the show. That's a big number that they were hiding, let alone the seven dead, etc. And the gas prices continue to go up. This is going to go from 41 to a number we've never seen, right? So this is a disaster in the making.

How the call settles
National polling shows approval/support for the US war with Iran falling below 41%, to a record low relative to prior US wars.

Applied stored rule: National polling shows approval/support for the US war with Iran falling below 41%, to a record low relative to prior US wars.
