According to a poll conducted by Reuters and Ipsos on the 23rd, only one-fourth of Americans agree with the value of this war. Additionally, most people are not optimistic about the memorandum of understanding that was previously signed between the United States and Iran.
According to a poll, President Trump’s approval rating has dropped again to 34%, which is the lowest level since his second presidential term. This low was last seen in a survey conducted in April this year.
This survey was conducted from the 17th to the 22nd, with 1,262 American adults participating. The margin of error is 3 percentage points.
Data shows that only 23% of Americans believe that the United States is in a more advantageous position regarding its relations with Iran compared to before the war. Approximately 35% of respondents believe that the United States’ position in dealing with the Iranian issue has been weakened, while the rest expressed uncertainty or believed that the United States’ situation is basically the same as before the war.
On the 17th, Eastern United States time, the presidents of the United States and Iran remotely signed a memorandum of understanding. Both sides will conduct 60-day negotiations to reach a final agreement.
Reports indicate that this agreement contributed to a rapid decline in global crude oil prices, but for most Americans, domestic gasoline prices remain much higher than they were before the conflict began in February.
Surveys show that only 24% of Americans believe that a war against Iran is worth the effort. Half of the respondents said that this conflict “doesn’t deserve” such a response, while the rest expressed uncertainty.
Approximately 63% of respondents believe that the memorandum of understanding is unlikely to lead to lasting peace between the two countries. Only 18% of respondents believe that there is a possibility of achieving lasting peace between the US and Iran through this agreement.
On June 18, 2026, local time, in Tehran, Iran, Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi signed an understanding memorandum between Iran and the United States.
During the beginning of Trump's term, his support rate reached 47%. However, now his public support rate is continuously declining. Reports suggest that his steadily decreasing support rate could drag down Republican allies and affect their goal of maintaining a majority in Congress during the mid-term elections in November.
Polls show that if elections are held immediately, only 17% of independently registered voters said they would vote for Republican candidates in their districts, while 34% of independent voters would choose Democratic candidates.
Additionally, only 37% of Americans approve of Trump's immigration policy approach, which is the lowest percentage since his tenure began. This figure represents a further decline from the 40% recorded in the last survey conducted by the same institution.
According to Economist statistics, Trump’s support rate during his second term is currently 9 percentage points lower than that of former U.S. President Biden during the same period in 2021, and 12 percentage points lower than during Trump’s first term.
A similar result was also found in a poll jointly conducted by American PBS News/NPR/Marist. Marist noted that the poll conducted on June 18 showed that Trump’s approval rating was only 39%.
