The current war began in late February, with Israel and the U.S. launching joint strikes against the Islamic Republic's leadership. Those strikes successfully killed Ayatollah Ali Khameini and much of the senior leadership of the country.

President Donald Trump's disapproval rating with American voters is at its highest point of either term, a recent Fox News survey has revealed.

Trump stood at 59% disapproval and 41% approval, marking his worst disapproval rating in the poll's history of measuring him. His previously disapproval high was in November 2025, when he posted a 58% disapproval rating.

Only 22% strongly approved of Trump's performance, while 47% strongly disapproved. His recent intervention in Iran appears to be driving much of the drop, with 64% of respondents disapproving of his handling of the issue.

The current war began in late February, with Israel and the U.S. launching joint strikes against the Islamic Republic's leadership. Those strikes successfully killed Ayatollah Ali Khameini and much of the senior leadership of the country.

Nevertheless, Iran did not fold and has fought back fiercely, striking U.S. military targets across the region and expanding the war to target the oil infrastructure of America's Gulf State allies.

Conducted March 20-23, the survey questioned 1,001 registered voters and has a margin of error of +/- 3%.
