In a
Quinnipiac University poll released Thursday, June 26, the Republican leader had a 41% approval rating among respondents, with 54% disapproving. This compares to
Quinnipiac's poll released June 11, when 38% approved and 54% disapproved.
Respondents gave Trump less-than-majority marks across his handling of seven key issues:
- The military: 45% approve, 49% disapprove
- Foreign policy: 40% approve, 54% disapprove
- The Israel-Iran war: 39% approve, 53% disapprove
- Immigration: 41% approve, 57% disapprove
- Deportations: 39% approve, 59% disapprove
- The economy: 39% approve, 56% disapprove
- Trade: 38% approve, 55% disapprove
A
Reuters/Ipsos poll released earlier this week gave Trump a similar 41% approval number, the lowest that the poll has found in his second term and down one point from earlier in the month. The poll opened after U.S. airstrikes on Iran June 21 and ended early June 23 before Iran said it
attacked a U.S. air base in Qatar. The Reuters/Ipsos survey gave him a 57% disapproval rating, with opinions of his stance on the economy and foreign policy both slipping four points to 35% approval.
A pair of polls released this week offers an early look at how Iran strikes could affect Trump's job approval numbers.
