Poll: US Support for Iran War Drops to 31% as Trump Approval Hits Record Low

Published 25 August 2026

Public support for the U.S. military campaign against Iran has fallen to its lowest level since the conflict began, while President Donald Trump's approval rating remains at a record low, according to a Reuters-Ipsos poll released on Monday. The survey indicates that only 31% of Americans now back the war, a significant decline from 37% in March and 34% earlier this month. The four-day poll, which closed on Monday, August 24, 2026, found that 69% of Americans do not support the military action. The drop in backing is particularly notable among Republicans, traditionally the president's strongest base.
