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 J.D. Vance said the conflict with Iran would enter a completely different phase within two months. He said Washington had completed the first stage, which he described as destroying Iran’s nuclear program and conventional military. Donald Trump has said the conflict could end after the November midterms, while allowing for an earlier settlement.
