A new Reuters/Ipsos poll shows US public support for the war with Iran has fallen to 31%, the lowest level since the conflict began in late February. The four-day poll, which closed on Monday, found support dropping from 37% in March and 34% earlier this month. The decline was driven by fewer Republican backers: 69% now support the war, down from 77% in March. President Donald Trump's approval rating remains at a record low of 33% for the second consecutive survey, tying his lowest level from December 2017. The war has been dragging on Trump's public standing throughout the year. A July poll found 69% of Americans believed Trump had not clearly explained the goals of US military involvement in Iran. Some 83% of respondents now think the war will continue for an extended period, up from 80% earlier this month. The poll surveyed 1,215 US adults nationwide with a margin of error of 3 percentage points.
