The latest five surveys as each pollster published them, compiled by VoteHub (CC BY 4.0) and retrieved 2026-09-30. We only display them — no calculation, weighting or editing. A single survey often reports all adults and registered voters separately, so the same pollster and dates can appear twice; where approve and disapprove add up to less than 100%, the rest were unsure or did not answer.

Analysis: Why Trump rejected Iran’s seven-day Hormuz proposal
Ross Harrison, a senior fellow at the Middle East Institute and author of Decoding Iran’s Foreign Policy, says Iran probably expected President Donald Trump to reject its seven-day proposal. He argues that the plan largely repackaged a framework Trump and French President Emmanuel Macron agreed in a June memorandum of understanding that Washington later tried to undermine. Iran’s aim, Harrison says, was less to win US approval than to show Iranian and American publics that it was willing to negotiate.
