President Trump’s approval rating after Iran strikes

Recent polls show President Donald Trump’s approval rating has stayed about the same in recent weeks, even after his decision to order airstrikes on Iran’s nuclear sites. The strikes, which happened on June 21, have sparked mixed feelings among Americans, and new surveys give a first look at how this might affect views on his leadership.

A Reuters/Ipsos poll, conducted from June 21 to June 23, found that 41% of people approve of Trump’s job performance, down slightly from earlier in the month. This is the lowest approval rating for him in this poll during his second term. Meanwhile, Nate Silver’s Silver Bulletin reported a 45% approval rating and 52% disapproval, while RealClearPolitics showed a slightly higher 46% approval and 51% disapproval.

The New York Times poll, taken through June 26, noted 44% approval and 53% disapproval. The airstrikes have caused some division. Many Americans are concerned about the conflict with Iran, and opinions vary on whether the U.S. should continue military actions. Trump’s choice to get involved in the Middle East has led to a small dip in his support, especially as some voters question his foreign policy moves.

Still, his approval numbers haven’t changed much overall, showing that his base remains steady for now. As Trump navigates these challenges, polls suggest his leadership style and decisions, like the Iran strikes, continue to shape how people see him. The coming weeks will likely show if these events have a lasting impact on his popularity.
