Iran War Support Drops; Trump Approval Falls—Poll

A Reuters/Ipsos poll found only 31% of Americans support U.S. military action against Iran, the lowest level since the conflict began. Republican support for the war dropped to 69% from 77% in March, while 83% of respondents expect the war to continue for an extended period. President Donald Trump’s approval sits at about 33%, the lowest level in his presidency according to the same poll, contributing to concerns about GOP support. The White House has publicly dismissed the polling as politics, even as officials say the administration will pursue sanctions and economic pressure rather than a broader military campaign. Survey data show little sign of a near-term resolution to the conflict, with higher gas prices and ongoing tensions shaping public opinion. The findings echo across multiple outlets citing the same trend of waning domestic backing for the Iran conflict and for Trump’s leadership at the outset of this phase of the war.
