President Donald Trump’s approval rating has climbed to its highest level of the year following the administration’s push to end the war with Iran, according to a new Daily Mail/JL Partners survey.
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.
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.
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.
Throughout the summit, Trump repeatedly argued that bringing the war to a close would improve global stability while lowering energy prices.
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.
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.
Trump highlighted those developments in a Truth Social post Tuesday.
“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!”
The latest survey suggests voters may be connecting those economic improvements with the administration’s foreign policy.
JL Partners founder James Johnson told the Daily Mail that Trump’s handling of the Iran conflict appears to have directly influenced public opinion.
“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.
“That makes sense, given we know voters see a clear link between gas prices and the Iran conflict being open.”
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.
Republicans continue to overwhelmingly support the president.
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.
Among Hispanic voters, Trump posted a 45% approval rating compared to 41% disapproval.
White voters gave the president a 46% approval rating.
Black voters registered 38% approval and 48% disapproval.
The poll comes during a period of heightened visibility for the administration.
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.
The S&P 500 reached an all-time high on June 2, while the Nasdaq Composite also climbed to a record. 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.
