According to BlockBeats on June 20, the latest AP-NORC poll shows that U.S. President Donald Trump’s approval rating remains at 37%, unchanged from the previous month. The figure comes after the United States and Iran reached a preliminary agreement to end the war, but the polling results show no clear shift in public sentiment. Trump’s approval rating for his handling of the Iran war also stayed stable at 34%.
Approval remains within a narrow range
The survey was conducted from June 11 to June 17 and included about 3,040 American adults, with a margin of error of ±2.8%. The results indicate that Trump’s overall approval rating continues to sit within the range seen in recent months. The report noted that since U.S. forces launched military action against Iran in February, Trump’s overall approval has fluctuated between 34% and 40% without showing a significant improvement.
The preliminary ceasefire agreement between the United States and Iran brought some changes to the immediate economic backdrop. The report mentioned a decline in oil prices and other short-term economic relief following the agreement. However, the poll numbers suggest that the agreement has not led to a clear rise in Trump’s approval rating, nor has it resolved public division over the administration’s Iran policy.
Majority says the Iran action went too far
The poll found that 53% of respondents believe U.S. military action in Iran “went too far.” That share is down 6 percentage points from March, but it still represents a majority of respondents. The data shows that disputes remain over the aims of the war, the scale of the military response, and the effectiveness of the policy. At the same time, Trump’s 34% approval rating on his handling of the Iran war closely tracks the low range of his broader approval numbers.
The report said that even though the preliminary U.S.-Iran ceasefire agreement has brought short-term economic relief, including lower oil prices, the public still has clear doubts about the goals and results of the war policy. The Iran conflict and the energy price swings connected to it remain among the key factors shaping public evaluations of Trump’s economic and foreign policy performance.
