The public approves of President Donald Trump’s handling of the conflict in Iran at roughly the same level as his overall job performance, a new poll finds.

A national NBC News poll reports 41% of the public approves of Trump’s “handling of the situation in Iran” and 54% disapproves.

NBC News, in partnership with Hart Research Associates and Public Onion Strategies, conducted the survey of 1,000 registered voters from Feb. 27 to March 3. It has a 3.1% margin of error.

The United States and Israel began strikes on Iran on Feb. 28, meaning the poll should capture Americans’ early impressions of the conflict.

The poll would not capture the potential effects on public opinion of developments since March 3, such as the selection of a new supreme leader in Iran, the continued rise in oil prices, or the announcement of the death of a seventh U.S. service member.

It also was conducted before Trump’s call for Iran’s “unconditional surrender” on Friday.

This level of support for Trump in Iran tracks with his overall approval rating in the NBC survey.

A total of 44% of voters approved of Trump’s job performance, and 54% disapproved. 

Trump’s strongest issue in the survey is border security, on which he has a 53% approval rating and a 44% disapproval rating. 

On “foreign policy” in general, Trump has a 43% approval rating and a 54% disapproval rating, also roughly in line with his general approval rating and the approval of the operation in Iran.

The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the survey.
