Overview
- A new Reuters/Ipsos survey finds Trump at 36% approval as many voters question his temperament after threats against Iran and a public feud with Pope Leo.
- An NBC News Decision Desk poll released Sunday, based on 32,433 adults, puts approval at 37% with two‑thirds disapproving of his handling of inflation and the war with Iran.
- Support inside the GOP has softened, with Republican approval down 4 points from early February and the share who strongly approve falling 6 points, while younger voters show sharp opposition to more military action.
- The Iran conflict has disrupted oil flows through the Strait of Hormuz and pushed gas above $4 a gallon, and large shares of Americans report worse personal finances and say the country is on the wrong track, with a short ceasefire due to end Tuesday.
- Analysts warn the pattern threatens GOP control in November’s midterms as state and demographic breakdowns show Trump underwater in key swing states and with independents.
