A new Fox News national survey reveals that President Donald Trump’s job disapproval has hit a record high of 59 percent as a majority of Americans voice opposition to ongoing military actions against Iran.
A new national survey by Fox News released on Thursday, March 26, 2026, reveals a significant decline in public approval for President Donald Trump, driven largely by growing domestic opposition to U.S. military intervention in Iran. The poll indicates that only 42 percent of voters support the current military campaign, while 58 percent are opposed—including nearly four in ten who described themselves as “strongly opposed.” This shift in sentiment comes as the administration navigates a tense five-day pause in strikes following high-stakes negotiations, with many respondents expressing deep skepticism about the long-term benefits of the conflict. More voters now believe the military action will make the United States “less safe than safer,” while approximately a quarter of the electorate feels the intervention will make little difference to national security.
The data highlights a fractured political landscape, with support for the military effort varying widely across partisan lines. While 77 percent of Republicans continue to back the President’s actions, support collapses to just 12 percent among Democrats and 28 percent among independents. Gender differences in the survey were notably narrower, with 45 percent of men supporting the strikes compared to 38 percent of women. However, the most striking finding is the rapid erosion of confidence in the President’s regional strategy; disapproval of Trump’s handling of Iran has climbed to 64 percent, up from 57 percent in January, while his broader foreign policy disapproval now stands at 62 percent.
In a historic low for the administration, Trump’s overall job approval rating has fallen to 41 percent, with 59 percent of the country disapproving—the highest disapproval level recorded across both of his presidential terms. Nearly half of all respondents (47 percent) stated they “strongly disapprove” of his performance in office. These figures suggest that the “rally ’round the flag” effect typically seen during military conflicts has failed to materialize, as voters increasingly link the administration’s aggressive posture to domestic economic strain and regional instability. As the 2027 election cycle approaches, the survey underscores a growing disconnect between the White House’s “regime change” rhetoric and the public’s desire for a diplomatic resolution.
