Donald Trump Public Opinion Rating In Wartime Collapsing

Ronald 199 Comments

Donald Trump’s Iran War is causing a collapse in his popularity, which already was under water.

His lack of strategy, and his reckless incitement for war, when Iran was not a direct threat anytime soon on America, is an indication of how dangerous a wartime leader he is.

Trump is attacking NATO nations for refusal to engage in a war that was not essential, and the blockage of the Strait of Hormuz is causing a massive oil and gasoline crisis, with motorists now paying one dollar more per gallon, compared to three weeks ago, when the war began.

The overall cost of living is skyrocketing, and that is bad news for Republicans in the upcoming Midterm Elections of 2026, the reason why Donald Trump is trying to interfere with the right to vote, and trying to destroy the Voting Rights Act of 1965, to fix the elections for Republicans.

Traditionally, the midterm elections always see a decline in the number of seats controlled by the President’s party, and a real landslide for Democrats looks likely, assuming Trump cannot succeed in his mission to limit the right to vote, through the proposed SAVE America Act.

The history of Presidents seeing popularity drop during wartime is stark:

Harry Truman had reached a high of 69 percent in 1949, but during the Korean War in 1952, his rating dropped to 22 percent, minus 47 points.

Lyndon B. Johnson had reached a high of 78 percent in 1963, after he succeeded the assassinated John F. Kennedy, but during the Vietnam War, his rating in 1968 dropped to 35 percent, minus 43 points.

Jimmy Carter had reached a high of 58 percent in January 1980, but in the next five months of the Iranian hostage crisis, his rating dropped to 27 percent, minus 31 points.

George W. Bush had reached a high of 90 percent after September 11, 2001, but in the midst of the Iraqi Civil War intervention in 2007, his rating dropped to 29 percent, minus 61 points.

And Joe Biden had reached a high of 56 percent in June 2021, but after the Afghanistan withdrawal in August 2021, his rating dropped to 43 percent, minus 13 points.

Trump has reached a low of 36 percent at this time, and is likely to go lower.

    Just as I lost my beloved daughter, Morgan, because of Trump’s perpetual lies on Covid-19 and the people who believed those lies, I too am suffering that loss.

    The family of U.S. Airman Tyler Simmons, who was from the Columbus, Ohio area, recently denounced Donald Trump regarding their son’s death in a conflict involving Iran. They stated that the conflict was “uncalled for” and that their son’s death was preventable.

    Israel SHOULD crack down on this – hard! But their far-right government won’t do so, and that’s both highly revealing and completely f’ed up. Also, if a Democrat were in the White House, they wouldn’t put up with this crap.

    What we NEED to do is get off of fossil fuels on an emergency basis. But despite rapid growth in clean power, we are still NOT doing that. Massive FAIL by humanity, and particularly by the fossil fuel industry of course, but also the insatiable demand by people for gas-guzzling cars, sprawl – ergo, car dependent – development, etc.

  21. Rustbelt Democrat March 23, 2026 10:53 am

    So the war goal now is something that wasn’t mentioned at the beginning of Trump’s war of choice, and which could have been avoided if Trump hadn’t launched said war? Brilliant, huh???

  24. Rustbelt Democrat March 23, 2026 10:56 am

    Nothing should EVER rehabilitate this heinous, incompetent slimeball’s image.

  29. Rustbelt Democrat March 23, 2026 11:03 am

    Pathetic, including by Democrats John Fetterman and Martin Henrich

  43. Rustbelt Democrat March 24, 2026 9:32 am

    When all of this is over, Noem needs to stand trial for multiple crimes.

  49. Former Republican March 25, 2026 9:50 am

    I’m skeptical as well. Trump is claiming to talk peace yet he’s sending thousands of paratroopers to the area.

  57. Rustbelt Democrat March 25, 2026 10:12 am

    Of COURSE there’s no evidence; it’s an unhinged Trump witch hunt!

    Pentagon prepares for massive “final blow” of Iran war

    “The Pentagon is developing military options for a ‘final blow’ in Iran that could include the use of ground forces and a massive bombing campaign, according to two U.S. officials and two sources with knowledge.”

    Nutjob. Also, just imagine if Joe Biden, Kamala Harris or Barack Obama had ever done something like this???

  87. Rustbelt Democrat March 27, 2026 9:33 am

    Hegseth is a psychopath, for sure.

  91. Rustbelt Democrat March 27, 2026 9:36 am

    Oil is disgusting. Also note that solar and wind don’t “spill”…

  93. Rustbelt Democrat March 27, 2026 9:37 am

    There needs to be a Nuremberg-style tribunal for Donald Trump, Kristi Noem and anyone else involved in this.

  97. Rustbelt Democrat March 27, 2026 9:42 am

    None of these people should be anywhere near the government.

  99. Princess Leia March 27, 2026 9:45 am

    Ugh! I don’t want money with his name on it!

    Yemen’s Iran-backed Houthi rebels have entered the war with a missile strike against Israel.

    Arresting women, children, men just trying to earn a living, etc, plus running a gulag of concentration campaigns, human rights violations, etc. is stressful, apparently. Who knew?

  129. Princess Leia March 30, 2026 10:04 am

    This is the polar opposite of everything Jesus preached.

  131. Princess Leia March 30, 2026 10:05 am

    Trump is evil.

  143. Rustbelt Democrat March 30, 2026 10:33 am

    Putin gave Trump his marching orders, apparently.

  145. Rustbelt Democrat March 30, 2026 10:34 am

    We’re going to need Nuremberg-style tribunals for crimes like these.

  148. Rustbelt Democrat March 30, 2026 10:36 am

    That says it all!

    Trump has unveiled a rendering of his presidential library.

  151. Rustbelt Democrat March 31, 2026 9:20 am

    So where are they going to have the golden throne….um….toilet?

  152. Former Republican March 31, 2026 9:25 am

    It’ll be next to the golden Griftshop.

  155. Princess Leia March 31, 2026 9:50 am

    Instead of books, his library will consist of the Epstein files and the classified documents he stole.

  166. Former Republican March 31, 2026 10:06 am

    His library will also have VHS videos of Stormy Daniels.

  179. Princess Leia April 1, 2026 9:52 am

    The April fool in the White House will be speaking on TV tonight at 9. I have no desire to watch him.

  180. Pragmatic Progressive April 1, 2026 9:53 am

    Nancy Pelosi call him “the creature”.

  183. Rustbelt Democrat April 1, 2026 10:06 am

    Trump is deranged and dangerous.

  184. Former Republican April 1, 2026 10:06 am

    Isn’t it fascinating how Trump keeps doing Putin’s bidding, helping our enemies and attack our own allies/interests?

    Here’s the video of Springsteen.
