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.

What this person said on the record, as reported, newest first.
US Vice President JD Vance said the Iran war caused Republicans’ midterm election defeat, calling the reason obvious. Donald Trump agreed that higher gasoline prices contributed but said he would still take the same action to prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon. Iranian parliament speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf retorted that the US had lost its “gambler energy” and could not walk away from the table.
