A new Reuters/Ipsos poll ending Monday shows that only 23% of Americans think the U.S. is stronger after the war with Iran. Half think it was not worth it. The rest are unsure. Additionally, 63% do not think the Memorandum of Understanding Donald Trump (digitally) signed will lead to a lasting peace. In contrast, 18% (including 10% of Democrats and 34% of Republicans) think it will lead to a lasting peace. Will this affect voting behavior in November? If Iran is still in the news then, it could, especially among Trump voters who voted for him because he promised no more wars.
The poll also showed that Trump's overall net approval rating among adults is -30, down from +6 in the spring of 2025. That is a drop of 36 points. Here are the data.
The good news for Trump is that his approval has remained stable at 34-35% since April. The bad news is that net -30 is not a good place to be, even if it is stable for the moment. (V)
