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.
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.

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.
