A new poll shows that most Americans disapprove of President Donald Trump's handling of Iran.

A poll conducted by the Associated Press (AP) and the Center for Public Affairs Research (NORC) found that 65 percent of American adults disapprove of Trump's handling of Iran.

The majority of those disapproving are Democrats. 28 percent of Trump's own Republicans also said they were displeased with his handling of Iran.

The new poll was conducted June 11-17. During the same period, Trump announced that a deal had been reached with Iran. He also said that he was allowing the US military blockade of the Strait of Hormuz to end.

Then, on Wednesday, the two sides signed a peace agreement. Americans have been expressing their disapproval of Trump's handling of Iran for months.

Some Republicans are also expressing dissatisfaction with the outcome of this week's deal. The deal allows Iran to sell its oil freely again.

It also includes the opening of the Strait of Hormuz for two months without any fees. The deal calls for further talks between the United States and Iran on Tehran's nuclear program.

Tehran has pledged to reduce its stockpile of highly enriched uranium. David Farrington, a 79-year-old independent from Fort Worth, Texas, who leans toward Trump's Republican Party, said it was disappointing that the deal did not address Iran's nuclear weapons program.

"I would not consider any agreement on the Strait of Hormuz to be a big or significant deal on Iran's part. I would consider it a showpiece," Farrington said. "As bad as this deal is, it's a deal." It's designed to make it seem less bad.'

Only a third of American adults approve of Trump's handling of Iran, according to a new poll, similar to an AP-NORC poll conducted in May.

Donald McBride, a 28-year-old independent from Plano, Texas, said Trump has failed to fulfill his campaign promise to keep America out of foreign wars.

'I voted for him because he said he wouldn't fight,' McBride said. 'I want this war to end. The original purpose of the war was to overthrow the Iranian regime, which is not possible. We don't even know why we're fighting.'

A majority of Americans surveyed said they wanted to see the Iran war end soon. 53% of American adults said the United States had done too much in the Iran war.

But nearly 40% of Republicans said the attack on Iran was justified. Of those, 37 percent of Republicans said the strikes were not enough.

Joan Jones, a 64-year-old independent from northwest Florida, said U.S. action was needed to address the threat from Iran.

“The strikes are ultimately to protect us from a nuclear attack,” Jones said. “I think we have to go through that process and get rid of that fear so that we don’t have that fear hanging over our heads all the time.”

Only about a third, or 34 percent, of American adults surveyed approved of Trump’s handling of Israel.

Tensions have been rising between Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Trump, as the president has criticized recent Israeli strikes in Lebanon.

Trump has been wary of the attacks affecting U.S.-Iran talks. The United States and Iran, which reached a 14-point agreement on Wednesday, aim to ensure implementation of these points and reach a comprehensive peace agreement within 60 days through further negotiations.

James Hoffman, a 69-year-old Republican from Medway, Ohio, told Netanyahu that Trump is adopting the wrong strategy.

"Netanyahu is not going to do everything Trump wants. He will do what he wants," Hoffman said. "I don't think this strategy is effective."

About a third of American adults say Trump's approach to the economy is right. Joan Jones of Florida said restaurants like Starbucks and McDonald's in her area are crowded. She said that this is a sign that the economy is doing well.

Patricia Bailey, a 42-year-old Republican from West Virginia, said inflation is out of control. "Trump got involved in the war by forgetting his economic promises. The common people are paying the price," she said.
