Key Points:

- Trump's overall job approval remains steady at 37%, consistent with previous polling in May, despite recent developments including a deal with Iran and the end of the U.S. naval blockade in the Strait of Hormuz.
- The poll indicates that 53% of Americans believe U.S. military action against Iran has gone too far, though opinions vary among Republicans, with 40% saying the action has been "about right" and 37% feeling it has not gone far enough.
- Only about one-third of U.S. adults approve of Trump's handling of Israel and the economy, with some Republicans expressing skepticism about his economic management despite the president's emphasis on his business credentials.
- The survey was conducted June 11-17 with 3,040 adults and has a margin of error of plus or minus 2.8 percentage points, capturing public opinion during a period of shifting U.S.-Iran relations and ongoing political tensions.
