Most Americans say US not winning Iran war as Trump approval falls - poll
The poll found that 64% of Americans said the US was not winning the war, compared with 36% who believed it was.
A CNN poll released on Tuesday revealed that a majority of Americans, 64%, believe the United States is not winning the war with Iran, with only 36% thinking the country is succeeding. Trump's handling of foreign affairs garnered a mere 26% approval rating, the lowest in his two presidential terms, while 71% disapproved. This decline in approval was notably significant among Republicans, who went from approving Trump's approach to Iran at 73% in March to just 60% currently.
Democrats and independents had already shown lower approval levels, with the recent drop primarily attributed to shifting Republican opinions. As Trump addressed the UN General Assembly, he reiterated his stance against Iran obtaining a nuclear weapon, hinting at either an agreement or further military action. Recent indirect communication between US envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner and Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, mediated by Qatar, marks the first intergovernmental talks since the interim ceasefire agreement fell apart in July.
Trump deemed the meeting productive, hopeful for an agreement, yet Iran has stipulated conditions, including an end to the war and US acts of aggression.
