Iran strikes pummel Trump approval to all-time low as Americans turn on war: ‘He said he’d be the peace president’
Donald Trump's approval rating has fallen to an all-time low as the vast majority of Americans turn on the President over his war in Iran.
A new Daily Mail/J.L. Partners poll found the President's approval now stands at 44 percent, down four points since Friday and marking the lowest rating recorded in Daily Mail tracking to date.
The sharp decline comes as Americans grow increasingly uneasy about his spiraling conflict tearing apart the Middle East after six American troops were killed.
Only 24 percent of voters believe killing Iran's Supreme Leader will make Americans safer. Moreover, 55 percent claim the risk of terror attacks on US soil has increased because of American strikes on Iran.
Overall, 40 percent of voters say their view of Trump has become more negative in the last week, compared to 26 percent who say their opinion has improved.
When asked for the main reason their view had worsened on Trump, 59 percent cited the war with Iran.
'Prices are too high, and now he has started a war,' one respondent said.
US regular gasoline prices hit $3.11 per gallon on Tuesday, up from just under $3 at the start of the week, the American Automobile Association said.

Iran has retaliated against the strikes by launching drones and ballistic missiles at Gulf states and US military bases
'He said he would be the peace President. Two wars in a few weeks?' wrote another.
Others respondents criticized both the decision-making process and Trump's unclear strategy.
'Striking Iran without approval creating a war,' one voter complained.
Trump famously ran his 2024 presidential campaign on not getting the US entangled in wars in the Middle East.
One respondent said: 'My view of Trump has become more negative because he has just started a war when he said he wasn't going to.'
'I'm not sure that the decision of war which he has taken is a good thing. I hate wars in general,' another added.
Throughout his political career, Trump has advocated for ending existing conflicts. The President famously brags about resolving eight wars since returning to the White House last year and has argued that he deserves to be awarded the Nobel Peace Prize.
Although the majority of respondents appear to be souring on Trump's foreign policy, others expressed approval in the poll.

Another praised what they described as 'ending many wars, peace through strength.'
'He is blowing up drug dealers and enemy of America,' a third wrote.
The divide reflects a country split over whether the strikes project strength or invite greater danger.
