Pessimism about the US economy and the impact of war in Iran driving record low numbers

WASHINGTON: Opposition to the US military campaign against Iran has reached its highest level in six months, with 54 per cent of Americans now opposing the military action, compared with 39pc who support it, according to a new poll released on Wednesday. The survey was conducted by Global Strategy Group, a US public-opinion and political research firm, for Navigator Research, a public-opinion research project that regularly tracks American attitudes towards politics, the economy and major policy issues. Opposition to the war was particularly strong among independent voters, with 66pc saying they opposed the US military campaign. Democrats also held a narrow edge over President Donald Trump and Republicans on handling the Iran conflict, with 36pc trusting Democrats compared with 32pc for Trump and Republicans, reversing an eight-point Republican advantage in March. The poll found that 58pc of Americans believed the war with Iran had not been worth it, including 41pc who strongly held that view. Only 34pc said the war had been worth it. The latest figure represents an eight-point increase in the share saying the conflict had not been worth it since April, when 50pc held that view. The findings also showed a shift in which political party Americans trust more to handle the conflict. Democrats now hold a four-point advantage over President Donald Trump and Republicans, with 36pc saying they trust Democrats more and 32pc choosing Republicans. In March, shortly after the conflict began, Republicans and Trump held an eight-point advantage, with 39pc trusting them compared with 31pc who trusted Democrats. Last month, US President Donald Trump’s approval rating plummeted to the lowest level of his presidency, with an overwhelming majority of Americans concerned that the war on Iran would last a long time, according to a Reuters/Ipsos poll. Just 33pc of respondents in the four-day survey said they approve of Trump’s performance in the White House, while 64pc disapprove. Some 80pc of Americans — including 87pc of Democrats and 71pc of Republicans — think US involvement in Iran “will go on for an extended period of time,” the poll found. Just 16pc said the conflict would likely end in a few weeks. The poll, conducted online, gathered responses from 1,166 US adults nationwide and had a margin of error of 3 percentage points in either direction.

Trump approval rating remains at record low, Reuters/Ipsos poll finds US President Donald Trump's domestic approval rating remains at the lowest level of his political career amid the war on Iran and rocketing inflation, a Reuters/Ipsos poll that concluded on Monday has found.  The poll, which surveyed over 1,000 Americans across the country, found that just 33 percent approve of the president, matching previous tallies recorded by Ipsos earlier in August. 

Approval Of Trump's Presidency And The War On Iran Hit New Lows Americans' approval of the US-Israeli war on Iran has reached another record low, pulling Trump's approval rating down with it, to the worst reading of either of his two terms in office, according to a new Reuters/Ipsos poll. The new findings also show likely spillover effects for the November midterms that will benefit Democrats seeking to retake the majority in Congress.   18 US service members have died in Trump's war on Iran, and more than 700 others have been wounded or injured (AP) Early on, the Trump administration claimed his war of choice would be over in a matter of a few weeks. On Friday, it will have been going on for six months with no resolution in sight. With the war keeping gas prices far higher than they were before Trump teamed up with Israel to launch a surprise attack on Iran in the middle of ongoing negotiations, Americans are increasingly taking a dim view of the war, while also overwhelmingly pessimistic about how long it will last. Eighteen US service members have died, and 774 have been injured or wounded. Thousands of Iranians have been killed.  In the new poll that reflects sentiments recorded through Monday, 63% of Americans disapprove of military strikes on Iran, with only 31% approving. Most Republicans still support the war, but the popularity on that side of the aisle has eroded too: 69% support the war now, compared to 77% in March, shortly after Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu started the war on Feb. 28.  Fully 90% of Democrats oppose the military attacks on Iran, along with 67% of independents. Despair rules: About 83% of Americans think the war will last "for an extended period of time," against only 12% who think it will be wrapped up in weeks.   Like cement shoes he put on himself, the war on Iran is steadily pulling Trump's popularity to new lows. Only 33% of surveyed Americans approve of Trump's overall performance, the worst level that Reuters/Ipsos has observed over either of his two administrations. Trump isn't up for re-election in November, but the stakes are sky-high for him in the midterms. A Democratic takeover of either the House or Senate will spawn any number of investigations of his administration and the Trump family's side business transactions. A takeover of both chambers would carry the prospect of Trump being impeached and removed from office. Here, the poll brought more bad news for Trump and the Republican Party. In the so-called "generic ballot" question that asks which party they're likely to vote for in their House race, 35% of Americans said they'd pick a Democrat, compared to 29% who said a Republican. Sixteen percent "don't know" and another 16% don't plan to vote.    While the Trump administration is consumed by the war, a 22% plurality of Americans say the most important problem facing the country is "the economy, unemployment and jobs," followed by 13% who said "threats to democratic values and norms," and 11% who said "corruption."  Along those same lines, 66% disapprove of Trump's handling of the economy.  In other survey readings:  Likely 2028 presidential contenders JD Vance and Marco Rubio have similar favorability ratings: 34% for Vance and 32% for Rubio. However,  41% have a "very unfavorable" regard for Vance vs 30% for Rubio.  69% say America is off on the wrong track, vs just 16% who say it's heading in the right direction. 58% say US foreign policy is on the wrong track, more than double the 23% who say "right direction" Tyler Durden Tue, 08/25/2026 - 16:40
