A new CNN poll finds that only 34% of Americans approve of President Donald Trump's performance, and only 25% say the war against Iran was worth the cost in American lives and money.
A new CNN poll, originally reported by The Zioneer at 14:39 Jerusalem Wednesday, is now being highlighted for its finding that President Donald Trump's approval rating stands at 34% — tying the low he recorded after the January 6 Capitol riot. The same survey shows that only 25% of Americans believe the war against Iran was worth the cost in lives and money, while 73% say the president does not pay enough attention to the country's most important problems. The data, first cited by N12's Asaf Rozentzweig, has been consistent across the wire's earlier versions, which focused on the 73% figure in the headline; the current update spotlights the approval rating as a lead finding.
The poll was first reported by The Zioneer at 14:39 Jerusalem Wednesday, with all three versions (published at the same timestamp) containing the same core figures: 34% approval, 73% saying Trump neglects key issues, and 25% saying the Iran war was worth the cost. The numbers have not changed across versions; the editorial emphasis on the approval rating is the new element.
The Zioneer has been tracking a series of polls showing declining public confidence in the administration. A Reuters/Ipsos poll published Tuesday, June 23, found Trump's approval at 34% and 52% of Americans saying the Iran war was not worth its costs. A CBS News poll from Sunday, June 21, showed 69% believed the financial cost of the campaign was not worthwhile. A Fox News poll from Thursday, June 25, put economic approval at 31%. An Israel Hayom poll from Thursday, June 18, found 71% of Israeli respondents do not trust Trump to safeguard Israeli interests in Iran negotiations. These surveys, reported by The Zioneer, form a broader pattern of eroding support.
The poll represents a single data point; its methodology and sample size have not been independently verified by The Zioneer beyond the CNN and N12 report. No further breakdowns or trend data from the same pollster have been published at this time.
