A new poll from the Associated Press (AP) and the NORC Center for Public Affairs Research shows that a majority of Americans maintain a negative opinion of the way President Donald Trump has handled the crisis with Iran, even after the recently announced agreement between the two countries to reduce tensions.

The study reflects that the conflict continues to be a politically sensitive issue for the White House. Although Trump announced diplomatic advances and a reduction in tensions in the Middle East, much of the population continues to view his strategy with skepticism, especially after months of military confrontations and mutual threats.

Most disapprove of Trump's management of Iran

According to the AP-NORC poll, conducted between June 11 and 17 of 3,040 American adults, 65% of respondents disapprove of the way Trump has handled issues related to Iran.

Disapproval is particularly high among Democrats and independents, while Republicans remain the group that most supports the president. Still, some Conservative voters expressed doubts about the deal reached this week.

David Farrington, an independent voter from Texas with Republican leanings, questioned the benefits gained by the United States.

“Any agreement on the strait could hardly be considered a recognizable concession on the part of Iran,” he declared when consulted by the AP.

The poll also found that just one-third of Americans approve of Trump's handling of Iran, virtually unchanged from May's results.

War fatigue grows

The results also show a broad desire to end US military intervention. 53% of those surveyed consider that military action against Iran has gone too far.

Donald McBride, an independent voter from Texas who supported Trump in the election, said he was disappointed that the president did not fulfill one of his main campaign promises.

“I would like the war to end,” he said. “I really don't understand why we keep fighting.”

The economy does not improve the presidential perception either

The survey reveals that Trump's difficulties are not limited to foreign policy. Only about 37% approve of his overall performance as president and barely a third support his management of the economy, one of the issues that has historically been one of his main political strengths.

Even among Republicans, signs of concern emerged. Patricia Bailey, a West Virginia resident and Trump voter, said rising prices continue to affect American families.

“I think he got so distracted by the war that he forgot some old promises,” he said.

The results suggest that, despite the recent deal with Iran, Trump still faces significant challenges in convincing Americans that his foreign policy and economic strategy is working.
