Support for the president\u2019s handling of the war remains lopsidedly partisan. About two-thirds, 65%, of U.S. adults disapprove of how Trump is handling issues with Iran. But while the vast majority of Democrats and independents view Trump\u2019s actions negatively, only 28% of Republicans are unhappy.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Americans\u2019 views on how the president is handling Iran are roughly in line with his overall job approval, which stands at 37%, unchanged from an AP-NORC poll conducted in May.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p><span>The survey was conducted June 11-17, just after Trump called off threats to escalate the war with Iran. The poll was fielded as Trump announced a deal with Iran and authorized an end to the U.S. naval blockade in the Strait of Hormuz, concluding just before the deal was signed Wednesday.<\/span><\/p>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div><span>Get Starting Point<\/span><\/div>\n<div><span>A guide through the most important stories of the morning, delivered Monday through Friday.<\/span><\/div>\n<div>\n<div><label>Enter Email<\/label><\/p>\n<div><button>Sign Up<\/button><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><span>Approval of Trump\u2019s actions on Iran has been low over the last few months. But in interviews, some Republicans also weren\u2019t pleased with the outcome of this week\u2019s agreement, which gives Iran an immediate benefit, allowing it to sell its oil freely again.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>The deal also reopens the strait without tolls for two months, restarts talks between the U.S. and Iran over Tehran\u2019s nuclear program and calls for Tehran to dilute its stockpile of highly enriched uranium.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>David Farrington, a 79-year-old Republican-leaning independent in Fort Worth, Texas, \u201cdoesn\u2019t have any love lost\u201d for Iran, but he\u2019s frustrated the agreement focused on the strait and didn\u2019t deliver more on the country\u2019s nuclear weapons program.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cAny agreement regarding the strait is hardly what I would consider a recognizable concession on the part of Iran,\u201d Farrington said. \u201cSo, I consider that some fluff that attempts to make this agreement look better when it\u2019s not.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<div>\n<div>\n<h3>Trump\u2019s approval on Iran remains flat<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><span>Only about one-third of U.S. adults approve of how Trump is handling Iran in the new poll, in line with May.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Donald McBride, a 28-year-old independent in Plano, Texas, is frustrated that Trump has not maintained his campaign promise to keep America out of foreign wars. McBride voted for Trump but he opposed going to war with Iran.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cI would like the war to end,\u201d he said. \u201cThe original objective of the war was to end the Iranian regime, and that\u2019s just not possible. I don\u2019t really know why we\u2019d continue fighting.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>The poll suggests most Americans want action in Iran to wrap up. Even with an agreement on the horizon, 53% of U.S. adults said American military action against Iran had \u201cgone too far,\u201d only a slight decline from 59% in March.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>About 4 in 10 Republicans, though, said in the latest poll that action has been \u201cabout right,\u201d and 37% said it had not gone far enough.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/bostonrelocationinsider.com\/?p=3069\">Mexico becomes the first country to reach knockout stage of the World Cup after beating South Korea<\/a><\/p>\n<p><span>Joan Jones, a 64-year-old independent in northwest Florida, believes the United States\u2019 actions in Iran have been necessary to address the threat Iran posed.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cThose attacks are ultimately to protect us from nuclear attacks,\u201d Jones said. \u201cI think we have to go through that \u2026 and eliminate that worry so we don\u2019t have that hovering over us.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<div>\n<div>\n<h3>Few approve of Trump\u2019s approach on Israel<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><span>About one-third, 34%, of U.S. adults approve of how Trump is handling Israel.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Tensions have been rising between Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Trump as the president criticizes recent Israeli attacks in Lebanon, which jeopardized negotiations between Washington and Tehran.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>James Huffman, a 69-year-old Republican in Medway, Ohio, thinks Trump is taking the wrong strategy when it comes to Netanyahu.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cNetanyahu is not going to do everything Trump wants. He\u2019s going to do what he wants,\u201d Huffman said. \u201cI just don\u2019t think it\u2019s effective.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<div>\n<div>\n<h3>Only about one-third approve on the economy<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><span>About one-third of U.S. adults approve of Trump\u2019s approach to the economy. That\u2019s in line with last month, and continues a challenging stretch for Trump on the issue.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Jones, the Florida independent, is more optimistic than most. She said she can hardly leave the house some hours without getting stuck in the traffic of tourists headed to the beach on vacation. She also spots lines around the block for Starbucks, McDonalds and Chick-fil-A in her community \u2014 all signs to her that the economy is doing well overall.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cI think President Trump\u2019s policies are contributing to a better economy,\u201d Jones said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Other Republicans are more skeptical, a troubling sign for a president who prides himself on his business acumen. Only 69% of Republicans approve of how he\u2019s handling the economy, slightly lower than the 78% who approve of how he\u2019s handling the presidency overall.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Patricia Bailey, a 42-year-old Republican in Parkersburg, West Virginia, sees an economy where prices have gotten out of control. \u201cI just said the other night, ordering pizza is for rich people,\u201d she said. Bailey voted for Trump but added, \u201cHe\u2019s kind of let me down a little bit.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Even if high prices preceded Trump, Bailey doesn\u2019t think he\u2019s lived up to his pledge to improve the economy.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cI think he got so distracted with the war that he forgot some old promises,\u201d she said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/bostonrelocationinsider.com\/?p=3067\">A Gatorade Player of the Year, major college commitments and more high school sports takeaways<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Americans\u2019 views on how the president is handling Iran are roughly in line with his overall job approval.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":3072,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3073","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-politics"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
