What happened, for context

A Reuters/Ipsos poll released on August 18, 2026, found that Trump's approval rating fell to 33%, matching the lowest level of his first presidency (December 2017). The poll attributed the decline partly to American concern over a prolonged U.S. military conflict with Iran conducted alongside Israel.
