Trump's approval rating in his second term has declined steadily from an initial 47% in early 2025 to averages of 36-40% by August 2026, with recent polls showing figures as low as 36% amid broad disapproval on multiple fronts. The U.S. military actions against Iran, which escalated from late February 2026, have weighed heavily on sentiment due to rising costs, casualties, and public opposition, coinciding with weaker economic perceptions including inflation and energy prices. Traders assessing the year's peak will watch for any resolution in Iran negotiations, midterm election dynamics in November 2026, or shifts in handling of trade, immigration, and domestic policy that could lift support from current levels. Historical patterns suggest approval can fluctuate with major events, though sustained headwinds have kept recent readings near term lows.
