Overview
- New national polling shows 36% approval for President Trump, down from 40% a week earlier, with economic approval at 29% in a Reuters/Ipsos survey.
- An AP‑NORC poll finds about 59% of Americans say U.S. military action in Iran has gone too far and 45% are very worried about affording gas in the months ahead.
- Gasoline has risen by roughly $1 per gallon since late‑February U.S.-Israel strikes on Iran disrupted oil flows, pushing household costs higher.
- Support within the GOP remains broad yet shows strain, as about one in five Republicans disapprove of Trump overall and rising numbers fault his handling of the cost of living.
- Approval of the Iran strikes sits near 35% with roughly six in ten opposed, based on large-sample polls of about 1,100 to 1,270 adults that carry margins of error of about three to four points.
