A new poll reveals a decline in Trump's popularity due to the Iran war

Trump's popularity has declined since he launched the war on Iran in February, which led to disruption of oil shipments from the Middle East and pushed fuel prices to levels approaching their highest levels ever, which negatively affected the financial conditions of American families.

Republicans have also lost part of their popularity since the outbreak of the war, in addition to losing over the past few weeks a long-term advantage that gave them the image of the most efficient party in managing economic policy.

When asked which party they would vote for if congressional elections were held today, 44% chose Democrats and 37% chose Republicans.

This difference of 7 points was the widest since Trump returned to the White House in January 2025.

For Republicans, losing control of either chamber of Congress could complicate Trump's agenda in the final two years of his term.

Voters chose Democrats over Republicans as the best ones to manage the economy, by 38% compared to 37%, as Democrats gained this advantage during the summer for the first time in about a decade.

Trump's construction projects across the US capital, including the White House Ballroom, were highly divisive and viewed from a partisan perspective, with 91% of Democrats in the poll saying they opposed these plans, compared to 1 in 4 Republicans who opposed them.

The poll was conducted over a period of 4 days following the first Republican Party convention last week in preparation for the midterm elections.

The poll included 1,143 Americans nationwide, with a margin of error of 3 percentage points up or down.
