Trump’s overall approval fell to 32 percent in Trump Quinnipiac poll numbers released after a nationwide Quinnipiac poll of 1,165 adults conducted July 23-27, 2026. Republicans also gave him less room on Iran, with 61 percent approving of his handling of the conflict, down from 71 percent in June.
The same poll put Trump’s approval on Iran at roughly 3 in 10 Americans. It also found 33 percent of Americans thought the war with Iran had been worth fighting, while 64 percent said it had not.
Quinnipiac poll numbers
The poll’s sample size and margin of error put the 32 percent figure in a standard survey range, but the movement among Republicans is the sharper change. Approval among Republicans for Trump’s handling of Iran dropped 10 points from June to 61 percent, even though it still stayed above the national figure.
That split matters for reading the numbers correctly. The overall approval captures Trump across the full adult population, while the Republican figure shows how his core political base is responding to his handling of Iran inside the same survey.
Republicans in the Quinnipiac
The poll also showed a divided view of the war itself. Twenty-three percent said the United States should continue military action against Iran, 23 percent said attacks should stop, and 30 percent favored pausing military action and seeking a renewed ceasefire through negotiations. Another 24 percent said they did not know enough to have an opinion.
That mix leaves the public without a single clear direction on the conflict, but it does give Trump a weaker standing point than he had in June. His support among Republicans on Iran moved down, and his overall approval sits at 32 percent heading into the next stretch of public debate over the war.
June 2026
The June comparison is the clearest sign of movement in the numbers. Republicans had given Trump 71 percent approval on his handling of Iran in June, and that figure slipped to 61 percent in the July 23-27 poll.
What caused Trump’s approval to fall to 32 percent and weaken among Republicans? The poll does not answer that, but it does show the decline came while Americans were still split over whether the war with Iran was worth fighting.
