But more breaking news that we are following tonight.

President Trump is now just hours away from addressing the nation about this ongoing war

with Iran.

Ahead of the speech, we have new CNN polling that is debuting right now showing how the

country feels about this war.

Now, just a third of Americans approve of how the president is handling his role of

commander in chief as well as the war.

Two thirds disapprove of the decision to take military action in Iran.

And strong opposition has grown 12 points since the start of the war.

Sixty-three percent of Americans say that they believe it's likely that the war will

turn into a long-term military conflict.

And nearly seven in ten oppose sending U.S. ground troops into Iran.

That is something that the president and the administration have repeatedly refused to

rule out.

Seventy-one percent say they don't want Congress to authorize $200 billion for further military

action in Iran.

A lot to take in there.
