Overview
- An NBC News Decision Desk poll released Sunday reported 37% approval and 63% disapproval for the president, marking his lowest rating of the second term from the outlet.
- Only 32% approve of his handling of inflation and the cost of living, as many respondents say their finances worsened over the past year and higher gas prices strain budgets.
- Two-thirds disapprove of his handling of the war with Iran, and most Americans want no further military action, with opposition especially high among adults under 30.
- Support inside the GOP has softened, with overall Republican approval down to 83% and the share who strongly approve slipping to 52%, while two-thirds say the country is on the wrong track.
- The two‑week ceasefire announced April 7 is nearing its end as talks continue in Pakistan and the president threatens strikes on Iranian infrastructure, a backdrop that outlets across the spectrum say could deepen Republican midterm risks.
