A recent CNN poll conducted by SSRS reveals a growing discontent among Americans regarding the ongoing war in Iran, with approval ratings for President Donald Trump's handling of the conflict plummeting. Almost two-thirds of respondents believe the U.S. is not winning the war, and many question whether Trump is doing enough to bring it to an end.
Despite initial support in March, when 73% of Republicans endorsed Trump's approach, the figure has now dropped to 60%. Among Republican and Republican-leaning adults under 45 and those disaffiliated with the Make America Great Again movement, disapproval rates exceed 50%.
The poll indicates that a majority of Americans, including majorities across party lines, view the conflict as harming U.S. interests and question its worthiness given the costs. Furthermore, 78% of adults believe Trump lacks a clear plan to handle the situation, and 76% feel the war is not worth the toll on American lives or the financial burden.
Republicans' disapproval of Trump's handling of Iran has surged, while views among Democrats and independents have remained persistently negative. Notably, the president's war cabinet, comprising Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Vice President JD Vance, and Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, receives unfavorably low approval ratings, indicating dissatisfaction among Republicans and Republican-leaning independents.
