Quinnipiac notes that Trump is losing ground even within the GOP, suggesting the Iran conflict is eroding support among his core political base.

A Comparative Decline in Standing

Data from Forbes indicates the current gap reflects a significant shift in public perception compared to the 2017-2021 period. This 8-point drop from his first-term standing leaves him trailing Joe Biden by 3 points.
