Although voters are divided about whether the killings of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and Iranian leaders were justified, more than three-quarters think it is likely that the US military action against Iran will result in a terrorist attack on US soil and a similar percent are concerned about oil and gasoline prices rising, according to a Quinnipiac University national poll of registered voters.
