The approval rating of US President Donald Trump has taken another hit and reached a new low as the war against Iran goes on. His decision to launch a military action with Israel against Iran has impacted his favorability among Americans. This also comes before the midterm elections, scheduled for November 2026.
Donald Trump’s approval rating revealed
According to a new poll, the approval rating of the current US President among American citizens has changed again.
The recent survey conducted by The Economist/YouGov indicates that 56 percent of the poll takers are dissatisfied with the job being done by Donald Trump. On the other hand, the percentage of respondents satisfied with his work has reached 37 percent. Thus, the businessman-turned-politician’s net approval has dropped to -18.
Moreover, when it comes to how Trump is handling the situation in Iran, 36 percent of poll participants strongly or somewhat approve of his tactics. However, 56 percent of participants strongly or somewhat disapprove of Trump’s way of handling the situation in Iran. Apart from this, 9 percent of the respondents have no opinion on this matter.
The poll further suggests that it is mostly the independents who are not a fan of the veteran Republican’s actions and decisions related to Iran. A major portion of the Democrats also denounce his decision to declare war on Iran, whereas a majority of Republicans support his decision.
As per the poll’s data, 92 percent of Democrats and 12 percent of Republicans do not support Donald Trump’s way of handling Iran. However, 5 percent of Democrats and 81 percent of Republicans disapprove of his stance on Iran and Operation Epic Fury.
Meanwhile, polling expert Brett Loyd recently spoke to Newsweek and stated, “Issue trust is the real game-changer here. You can tell me someone’s age or where they live, and I’m still basically guessing, but tell me if they’re ‘sour’ or ‘happy’ with the economy, and I’ve got a much better lead on their vote. At the end of the day, if a voter feels like the economy isn’t working for them, they’re going to vote for change regardless of what demographic bucket they fall into.”
