Recent polling shows President Donald Trump's approval rating stuck at a record low, while public support for the ongoing Iran war has dropped to just 31%, according to multiple surveys reported by NBC News, Reuters, and Forbes.
The latest Reuters/Ipsos poll found that Trump's approval holds at its lowest point yet, with the figure unchanged from previous weeks. Forbes reported the same result, describing the president's approval as stalled at a record low. NBC News, citing its own polling, noted that Americans were skeptical of the Iran war from the beginning, and that sentiment has not improved over time.
The Hill characterized the period as a "cruel summer" for Trump's approval numbers, suggesting the sustained low ratings reflect broader public dissatisfaction. NBC News' morning rundown also flagged a separate development: a judge has raised questions about renovations at the Kennedy Center, though details on that matter were not included in the available reporting.
The consistency across multiple outlets — including Reuters, Forbes, NBC News, and The Hill — points to a stable but deeply negative assessment of the president's performance. The Iran war, in particular, appears to have failed to rally public opinion, with support now below a third of respondents.
What to watch next: Whether the administration's handling of the Iran conflict or upcoming policy moves can shift these numbers, or if the record-low approval becomes a longer-term trend heading into the next election cycle.
