Most Americans continue to disapprove of how President Donald Trump is handling Iran, while his overall presidential approval holds steady, according to a new AP-NORC poll that was conducted as he suggested a deal with Iran had been reached.
Key facts
- The AP-NORC poll of 3,040 adults was conducted June 11-17 using a sample drawn from NORC’s probability-based AmeriSpeak Panel, which is designed to be representative of the U.S. population
- About 4 in 10 Republicans, though, said in the latest poll that action has been “about right,” and 37% said it had not gone far enough
- The new survey was conducted June 11-17, after Trump called off threats to escalate the war with Iran
- Joan Jones, a 64-year-old independent in northwest Florida, believes the United States’ actions in Iran have been necessary to address the threat Iran posed
Summary
The poll points to how unpopular the war, which began Feb. 28, has been with Americans even as the Republican president turned abruptly from threatening Iran to reopening negotiations. Americans’ views on how the president is handling Iran are roughly in line with his overall job approval, which stands at 37%, unchanged from an Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research poll conducted in May. The new survey was conducted June 11-17, after Trump called off threats to escalate the war with Iran. Approval of Trump’s actions on Iran has been low over the past few months.
