The poll found Trump with a 47% approval rating and 53% disapproval, marking his strongest showing since late February and his highest approval rating of 2026.
The survey represents a noticeable rebound after Trump’s approval spent the previous three months hovering around 43% following a low point of 42% in mid-March.
The survey was conducted June 19-21, shortly after Trump attended the G7 summit in France, where ending the Iran conflict became one of the gathering’s central issues.
Pollsters suggest the improvement coincides with growing public approval of the administration’s efforts to wind down the nearly four-month conflict with Iran, an agreement that has also been accompanied by falling oil and gasoline prices
Throughout the summit, Trump repeatedly argued that bringing the war to a close would improve global stability while lowering energy prices.
Financial markets responded positively, while gasoline prices also continued to decline.
According to AAA, the national average price for a gallon of regular gasoline has fallen from $4.52 to $3.93.
Those efforts culminated in a memorandum of understanding extending the ceasefire between the United States and Iran while negotiators work toward a broader peace agreement
“19 millions barrels of oil flowed out of the Hormuz Strait yesterday, an all time record,” Trump wrote.
“Oil prices are tumbling down, and the world is a much safer place!”
JL Partners founder James Johnson told the Daily Mail that Trump’s handling of the Iran conflict appears to have directly influenced public opinion.
Trump highlighted those developments in a Truth Social post Tuesday
“President Trump appears to have got a direct approval bump from the Iran deal, putting him on his second-highest rating of the year so far,” Johnson said.
The numbers also reflect a shift from just one month earlier.
A Daily Mail/JL Partners poll conducted in May found that 59% of respondents believed the economy was getting worse while energy prices remained elevated.
The latest survey suggests voters may be connecting those economic improvements with the administration’s foreign policy
The latest poll found 82% of Republican voters approve of Trump’s job performance.
Independent voters remain more divided, with 38% approving and 52% disapproving.
White voters gave the president a 46% approval rating.
“That makes sense, given we know voters see a clear link between gas prices and the Iran conflict being open.”
Black voters registered 38% approval and 48% disapproval.
In recent weeks, Trump has presided over America 250 celebrations, announced plans for a UFC event at the White House, and celebrated the opening of the World Cup alongside continuing negotiations with Iran.
Markets have also responded positively during the diplomatic push.
Republicans continue to overwhelmingly support the president
The Dow Jones Industrial Average followed by reaching a new high on June 16 before all three indexes eased slightly in subsequent trading.
Whether Trump’s improved polling numbers prove lasting may depend on the outcome of the ongoing negotiations with Iran. The current memorandum of understanding provides a framework for talks over the next 60 days, with both sides attempting to reach a broader agreement while maintaining the ceasefire that has helped stabilize global energy markets.
