Poll: Nearly 70% of Americans Want an Early End to the Iraq War, House Passes Symbolic Bill
- According to the latest The Economist/YouGov poll, 68% of respondents believe that the United States "should reach an agreement to end the war with Iran as soon as possible," with only 11% opposed and 21% uncertain. In addition, 28% support military action against Iran, while 60% are opposed.
- This three-month-long war has pushed up energy prices: the closure of the Strait of Hormuz has led to increases in oil and natural gas prices, and the average price of regular gasoline in the United States has risen from $3.14 per gallon a year ago to about $4.24 per gallon as of Thursday.
- On Wednesday, the House of Representatives passed a piece of legislation by a vote of 215 in favor and 208 against that aims to force the President to end the war with Iran—four Republicans joined all Democrats in support. However, because of disputes regarding the legal effect of this measure, its passage is to a large extent symbolic. This poll was conducted from May 29 to June 1, with 1,604 respondents and a margin of error of ±3.5 percentage points.

BUZZ - Levi Strauss shares drop due to weak sales in the US and Europe
On October 8, Levi Strauss (LEVI.N) shares fell 1.3% in pre-market trading to $19.25 after the company reported lower-than-expected sales in the U.S. and Europe. BTIG commented: “This quarter, the European direct-to-consumer (DTC) business was hit by unusually warm weather, but as temperatures return to normal, foot traffic and sales trends have improved, maintaining a positive outlook in early Q4.” The brokerage also noted that the company remains strong in wholesale, e-commerce, and market share in jeans, but its “back-to-school” marketing campaign did not meet expectations. Benefiting from tariff refunds on Wednesday, the company raised its annual profit forecast and is betting on strong demand for its premium jeans and sweaters during the holiday season. Sixteen analysts have an average “buy” rating; the median price target is $27, according to LSEG. The stock has risen 6% year-to-date as of the previous close.
