Trump’s Iran War Support Falls to 33.8% as MAGA Backing Drops 13 Points

Summary
33.8% of Americans now support the Iran war, down from a 40.5% peak in March, while disapproval has climbed to 58.3%.
27% to 28% of respondents in July polls said the war was the right decision or worth fighting, far below Trump’s 37% overall job approval.
MAGA support is also weakening: only a little more than a third now say the war is worth its economic costs, down 13 points from May, and 51% want a deal to end it quickly.
Rising gasoline prices, a war with no clear end, and Trump’s broader weakness—39.2% job approval and Democrats leading the House generic ballot by 5.8 points—raise the political stakes for Republicans in November.
