Fox News Poll Shows Record Opposition to Iran War

A national survey conducted by Fox News between September 11 and 14, 2026, reveals significant public opposition to the Donald Trump administration's conduct of the war with Iran. Seven in 10 voters believe the administration lacks a clear strategy to end the conflict, and 60 percent state that the decision to take military action against Iran was the wrong decision.

Public sentiment reflects concerns over national security and the economy, with 47 percent of respondents believing the conflict will make the United States less safe in the long run. The war is linked to rising inflation and soaring fuel prices. Consequently, Trump's foreign policy approval has dropped to 37 percent, a second-term low, while his overall performance disapproval rating has reached 61 percent.

These findings emerge as the president prepares for the November midterm elections. In response to potential Democratic gains in Congress, Trump has launched investigations into non-citizen voters and attempted to restrict mail ballots. The poll also noted a record low in support for Israel in the Gaza conflict, with only 48 percent of voters siding with Israelis over Palestinians. Despite the intensity of the opposition, only 4 percent of voters identified the war with Iran as the most important issue facing the country, trailing the cost of living.
