Trump Shares June Poll Showing 60% Support for Iran Deal as U.S. Strikes Continue

President Trump posted a poll from June 29 on Truth Social on Monday morning that found 60.4 percent of voters supported the Memorandum of Understanding between the U.S. and Iran. ” The Big Data Poll, conducted before hostilities resumed, also showed Trump’s overall approval rating at 42.9 percent, an eight-point increase from the prior survey.

A more recent Washington Post/Ipsos poll conducted July 8–13 placed his approval at 37 percent and found only 29 percent approval for his handling of the Iran conflict. U.S. forces carried out a ninth consecutive night of strikes against Iran on Sunday.

Iran responded with missile and drone attacks on U.S. allies and assets in the Persian Gulf. Trump told reporters Sunday night that “Iran has been very, very badly damaged” and that the strikes honored three fallen U.S.

Service members. Three American service members have been killed in recent days amid the resumed bombing and retaliatory strikes. The Strait of Hormuz remains largely closed. The Trump administration began the latest wave of strikes earlier this month after accusing Iran of attacking merchant ships there.

Iran has since struck targets in Bahrain, Kuwait, Qatar, Syria and Jordan and warned of a “full-scale offensive” if attacks continue. The Memorandum of Understanding has effectively collapsed since the June 29 poll date.
