Approximately 70 percent of US adults in a new nationwide poll say the US-Israeli war<\/a> has not been worth fighting, a five-point spike since July.<\/p>\n

\u201cSeventy-one percent of adults disapprove of how Trump is handling Iran and 69 percent say the war in Iran has not been worth fighting,\u201d said the survey released on Thursday by The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research.<\/p>\n

The poll, which surveyed more than 2,000 adults in the US, also suggested that Americans are deeply frustrated with US President Donald Trump\u2019s handling of the economy and rising prices, with only 17 percent of US adults polled approving of his handling of the cost of living. Just 26 percent approved of his handling of the economy overall, marking a new low.<\/p>\n

Public angst over fuel costs has surged, with about half of respondents now deeply concerned about being able to fill their tanks \u2014up from 39 percent in July. Roughly half of respondents are also highly concerned about being able to afford food.<\/p>\n

The data comes as Trump kickstarts<\/a> his midterm campaign trail in an all-in effort to galvanise the Republican base, stumping first in Texas and Oklahoma amid widespread voter anxiety surrounding the war on Iran\u2019s mounting economic fallout.<\/p>\n

The poll also indicated that, despite their frustration, two-thirds of Republicans surveyed said that higher than usual prices are due to factors outside of Trump\u2019s control, with about one-third saying it was directly related to Trump\u2019s policies.<\/p>\n

The sombre numbers suggest the president remains deeply unpopular nationally, with some Republicans also faulting him for failing to deliver on promised relief.<\/p>\n

\u2018Pollsters are corrupt\u2019<\/h2>\n

Overall, more than half of adult respondents said the national economy and the country as a whole are worse off since President Trump took office again in 2025.<\/p>\n

In an interview with TIME magazine, published on Thursday, Trump was asked<\/a> if the deeply unwanted war would threaten his party\u2019s chances in November, to which he initially responded, \u201cIt\u2019s possible,\u201d before adding that \u201cit should help, because Iran will not have a nuclear weapon.\u201d<\/p>\n

Confronted with sliding poll numbers, Trump said that the \u201cpollsters are corrupt\u201d and that the bad polls \u201care fake\u201d, adding that he would beat anybody running today \u201cby 20 points\u201d.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
