President Trump’s approval rating on Iran has fallen slightly since last month, according to a new AP-NORC poll.
Just 28% of U.S. adults approve of how Trump is handling Iran, a slight decline from 34% last month.
Republicans also appear to be increasingly unhappy with the prolonged conflict: 61% approve of how Trump is handling Iran, an apparent decline from 71% in June.
The margin of sampling error for Republicans is 6 points, so that 10-point decline is considered slight – but it’s still noteworthy given Republicans’ higher approval of how Trump is handling the presidency overall. About 7 in 10 Republicans, 73%, approve of Trump’s job performance.
Trump’s overall job approval rating is 33% among U.S. adults. That’s slightly below where he was at this point in his first term, and similar to where former President Biden stood about one and a half years into his presidency, as inflation peaked.
