Trump’s Iran nightmare deepens as poll reveals Americans’ brutal verdict with war nearing five months and U.S. death toll rising | 21 July 2026 | Two weeks after the latest ceasefire collapsed, President Donald Trump’s handling of the Iran war continues to face broad public skepticism, pushing down his approval rating and leaving Americans with little hope it will end soon. The latest exclusive Daily Mail/JL Partners poll shows only 32 percent of voters approve of the President’s handling of the war with Iran, and 49 percent believe Trump was wrong to launch military action that’s resulted in the deaths of 18 U.S. troops, with over 100 injured. The President’s approval rating currently stands at 44 percent, slightly down from 47 percent in mid-June after a peace deal framework was announced. Americans also remain opposed to the original decision to use military force: just 36 percent support the U.S. military action in Iran, while 41 percent oppose it.
