How Trump’s approval shifted after the ceasefire in Gaza, according to a new AP-NORC poll
About 47% of U.S. adults approve of Trump’s handling of the Gaza conflict despite ongoing low approval on domestic issues like the economy and health care, an AP-NORC poll shows.
- Earlier this month, President Donald Trump brokered a ceasefire in the Gaza Strip, and an AP-NORC poll found 47% of U.S. adults approve his handling of the conflict.
- Domestically, the administration is coping with a U.S. government shutdown in its third week, high prices and health care cuts while about 4 in 10 American voters approve of Trump's job performance.

- Looking ahead, U.S. voters prioritize the economy, health care, taxes and immigration over the Middle East, while some praised hostage releases but urged focus on rising grocery prices and health care.
