Trump approval plunges, US global reputation sinks
Overview
The U.S. strike on Iran in February 2026 sparked a two‑month conflict that slashed oil flow through the Strait of Hormuz, drove gasoline prices up more than 40 % and added roughly $132 billion in direct costs. Domestic polling has tracked an unprecedented collapse in President Donald Trump’s standing: a Reuters/Ipsos poll on 23 June recorded a historic low of 34 % approval, the Financial Times poll of 5 July showed 36 % approval (21 % among independents), and an Economist/YouGov poll on 12 July put approval at 35 % with 61 % disapproval, a net rating of –25, the lowest ever for a U.S. president. On 8 July Trump ordered fresh strikes after Iranian attacks on Bahrain and Kuwait, pushing crude prices up another 7 % and renewing doubts about a lasting peace. The following day he posted on Truth Social that a Walter Reed examination confirmed he is in “excellent health” and that he scored perfectly on a cognitive test, while attacking New York Times reporters and dismissing a forthcoming biography as “fake news.” A later post on 11 July reiterated the health claim and again denounced the Times. During this period the administration intensified legal pressure on the press, filing lawsuits, lobbying the FCC, restricting White House and Pentagon access, using the EEOC against the New York Times, and authorising raids and subpoenas targeting Washington Post and Wall Street Journal reporters, prompting concerns over First‑Amendment rights. Poll trackers in July show the president’s approval hovering around one‑third of the electorate, with especially high disapproval among white non‑college voters (mid‑50 % range). Trump has claimed support near 60 % despite independent surveys contradicting him. Economic anxiety over rising gas, food and essential‑goods costs, tied to the Iran war and tariff pressures, underpins the decline.
