BlockBeats reported on June 20 that the latest AP-NORC poll shows US President Donald Trump’s approval rating holding at 37%, unchanged from the previous month. The figure did not show a clear shift even after the United States and Iran reached a preliminary agreement to end the war.
The poll also found that approval of Trump’s handling of the Iran war remained stable at 34%. The result indicates that the agreement has not significantly changed how respondents view his overall performance or his administration’s military policy related to Iran.
Majority Says US Military Action in Iran Went Too Far
On the question of US military action in Iran, 53% of respondents said the United States had “gone too far.” Although that share was down 6 percentage points from March, it still represented a majority of those surveyed, reflecting continued division among the US public over the military campaign.
The survey was conducted from June 11 to June 17 and included about 3,040 US adults. The margin of error was ±2.8%. The polling period captured public opinion around the time when the preliminary ceasefire agreement between the United States and Iran was reached.
Ceasefire Brings Short-Term Economic Relief, but Doubts Remain
The report noted that although the preliminary ceasefire agreement between the United States and Iran has brought short-term economic relief, including a decline in oil prices, the public continues to question the goals of the war and the effectiveness of the policy. Since US forces launched military action against Iran in February, Trump’s overall approval rating has stayed within a 34%–40% range and has not shown significant improvement. The report also said the Iran conflict and the energy price fluctuations it has brought remain among the key factors affecting evaluations of Trump’s economic and foreign policy performance.
