On Monday (March 16), polling expert Eli McKown-Dawson wrote that Trump's net approval rating remained negative but hadn't changed much 14 days into the Iran War in Nate Silver's Silver Bulletin blog.

"We’re 14 days into the Iran War. The conflict remains unpopular across most polls, although it still enjoys strong support among Republicans. Donald Trump’s approval rating, however, has been relatively stable," McKown-Dawson wrote at the time.

"If the war results in additional American casualties, or if gas prices continue to spike, it’s entirely possible that Trump’s approval rating will decline as a result," he added.

A recent FOX News poll showed that Trump had an 87% approval rating among Republicans, though his support varies among 'Make America Great Again' and 'non-MAGA Republicans'. Trump had a 98% approval rating among respondents who identified themselves as "MAGA Republicans, but only a 63% approval among those who describe themselves as 'non-MAGA Republicans.'

Additionally, 95% of MAGA respondents said the president was focused on the right issues while 57% of non-MAGA Republicans believed the same, totaling 83% among both groups. Trump's overall approval rating was reported to be at 43% and his disapproval rating was at 57% for a -14% net approval rating. A majority 60% of respondents said the president was focused on the wrong issues while 40% said he was focused on the correct ones.
