Poll: Trump Approval Rating Holds Steady at 37%, Public Opinion Divided on Military Action amid US-Iran Agreement

WASHINGTON, June 20 (AP) — President Donald Trump’s approval rating stands at 37% in the latest AP-NORC poll, holding steady from the prior month and showing no meaningful shift following the U.S. and Iran’s preliminary agreement to end their war. The survey, conducted June 11 to 17 among roughly 3,040 U.S. adults, has a margin of error of ±2.8%. Trump’s approval rating for his handling of the Iran conflict also remains stable, staying at 34%. Still, 53% of respondents say the U.S. has been “too aggressive” in its military actions toward Iran. That figure is 6 percentage points lower than in March, though it still represents a clear majority of those polled. Even with the preliminary ceasefire between the two nations and short-term economic relief including falling oil prices, the public retains significant skepticism about the conflict’s stated objectives and the effectiveness of related policies, the poll finds. Since the U.S. military launched actions against Iran in February, Trump’s overall approval rating has fluctuated between 34% and 40%, with no significant improvement. Analysts note the Iran conflict and the resulting energy price volatility remain key factors shaping public assessments of both the U.S. economy and foreign policy performance.
