According to the AP-NORC survey, 65% of US adults disapprove of Trump's approach to Iran, highlighting widespread skepticism about the administration's management of the conflict. Deep partisan divide Public opinion on Iran remains sharply divided along party lines. While Democrats and independent voters overwhelmingly disapprove of Trump's actions, Republican voters largely support him. Only 28% of Republicans expressed dissatisfaction with Trump's handling of Iran, demonstrating the strong partisan gap that has characterized views on the conflict.
