TL;DR

A new Reuters/Ipsos poll cited by Israeli media finds President Donald Trump's approval rating at 34%, a new low for his term. The survey also shows that 52% of Americans say the war against Iran was not worth its costs, while 24% say it was — underscoring a deepening public skepticism of the campaign's returns.

01 · THE DISPATCH

A Reuters/Ipsos poll cited Tuesday night by Israeli media places President Donald Trump's approval rating at 34%, marking a fresh low. The survey also found that 52% of Americans believe the U.S. military campaign against Iran was not worth its costs, against 24% who said it was.

The figures continue a pattern evident in prior surveys published over recent weeks. As The Zioneer reported on June 8, Trump's approval had already neared a career low. A June 21 CBS News poll found 69% of Americans said the financial investment in the Iran war was not worthwhile. Concurrent surveys in Israel have shown similar public wariness: an 84% majority said Israel did not win the war, and 71% said they do not trust Trump to safeguard Israeli interests in Iran-related negotiations.

The data come as the Biden administration faces ongoing questions about the long war's strategic outcome and domestic appetite for continued engagement in the Middle East.
