A Reuters/Ipsos poll conducted from June 17 to 22 found that more than half of U.S. adults believe President Trump's military action against Iran was not worth the cost, while his approval rating has dropped to its lowest point of his second term.
With the November midterm elections approaching, Trump traveled to the battleground state of Pennsylvania on June 23 for a large public event, where he emphasized that living costs are declining and that Americans' standard of living has improved compared to two years ago.
The poll also revealed that only 23% of respondents think the U.S. is in a more favorable position regarding Iran than before the conflict began — a view shared even by half of Republican supporters. Conversely, 35% of respondents feel the U.S. is now worse off than before.
Additionally, 52% of those surveyed said the military conflict was not worth the price paid by the United States. When asked about the memorandum of understanding recently signed by the U.S. and Iranian presidents, a striking 63% said they believe the document is unlikely to bring lasting peace between the two countries, while just 18% expressed optimism that peace could be achieved.
The latest polling also showed that only 37% of Americans approve of Trump's handling of immigration — a new low for his current term — while his approval rating on the cost-of-living issue stands at just 22%, nearing the lowest level of his presidency.
