Tuesday, April 21, 2026-Public support for Donald Trump is slipping as the war with Iran drags on, with new polling painting a clear picture of growing dissatisfaction across the United States.
Surveys released in recent days show his approval rating hovering in the mid-to-high 30% range—one of the lowest points of his current term—while disapproval has climbed well above 60% in some polls.
At the center of the decline is the ongoing Iran conflict, which many Americans now view as costly and ineffective. Only about one-third of respondents approve of Trump’s handling of the war, and a majority believe the military action has gone too far or failed to achieve meaningful goals.
Rising fuel prices and broader cost-of-living concerns tied to the conflict have further eroded confidence, with economic approval ratings dropping to around 30% in some surveys.
Beyond policy, concerns about leadership style are also weighing heavily. A recent Reuters/Ipsos poll found just 36% overall approval, with many respondents questioning Trump’s temperament during a period of heightened global tension.
Even within his political base, cracks are beginning to show—particularly among independents and younger voters—signaling potential political risks if the war continues without a clear resolution.
