What to know

  • CNN-SSRS poll (Sept. 16-17) shows only 26% approve of Trump's handling of the Iran war, down from 33% in March.
  • 64% of Americans say the U.S. is not winning the war, 70% say it has hurt the country, and 75% say Trump lacks a clear plan.
  • CNN's David Chalian says the decline is 'largely driven by Republicans abandoning the president,' a 13-point drop in GOP approval.
  • Iran's closure of the Strait of Hormuz has pushed up gas prices, compounding the domestic political fallout for Trump.

“CNN has a brand-new poll out this morning that finds just 29% of Americans approve of how the president is handling foreign affairs. This is a new low in CNN polling across both of his terms as president.”
