The latest five surveys as each pollster published them, compiled by VoteHub (CC BY 4.0) and retrieved 2026-11-13. 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.

Rubio backs blockade, Vance wants a deal: Is Trump’s team split on Iran war?
Secretary of State Marco Rubio said the US economic campaign against Iran was effective enough to make large-scale military operations unnecessary, and urged G7 allies to help protect shipping in the Strait of Hormuz. Trump said further strikes were unlikely, while Vice President JD Vance favours a deal. US-Iran negotiations have largely stalled for months as Washington maintains sanctions and a blockade of Iranian ports.

World‘Things happen’: How Vance’s Iran wedding strike comment fits a US pattern

US Vice President JD Vance expressed scepticism about reports that a US attack hit a wedding party in Kuhestak, Iran, killing four people and injuring 67. While saying the US never targets civilians, he added that “sometimes, things happen”. Analysts say the response echoes a longstanding pattern of Washington disputing or minimising reports of civilian harm before later acknowledging responsibility or mistakes.
