Trump approval slides as Americans sour on economy and Iran war, poll finds

  • Survey data revealed that 67% of adults disapproved of Trump's handling of the war against Iran, with 54% indicating they "strongly" disapproved of the conflict among 32,433 surveyed adults.
  • Historian and foreign policy analyst Stephen Wertheim noted that while it took two years for two-thirds of Americans to disapprove of Bush's handling of Iraq, it took less than two months for Trump.
