  • A new AP-NORC poll indicates that approximately two-thirds, or 65%, of U.S. adults disapprove of how Trump is managing issues with Iran , despite a recently announced deal.
  • Public disapproval of Trump's Iran policy is sharply divided along partisan lines, with most Democrats and independents expressing negative views, while only 28% of Republicans share this sentiment.

  • Despite the deal, some Republicans voiced dissatisfaction, believing it did not secure significant concessions on Iran’s nuclear weapons program, and 53% of U.S. adults feel military action against Iran had 'gone too far'.
  • Trump's overall job approval stands at 37%, consistent with previous polls, and only about one-third of U.S. adults approve of his economic policies, with some Republicans expressing skepticism.
