Why are Americans increasingly dissatisfied with the Trump administration’s handling of the Iran war?
Growing dissatisfaction with the Iran war. I'm Kathleen Maloney, Fox News. The war with Iran continues into its seventh month as new polls suggest disapproval of President Trump's handling of the war remains high. Fox's Alex Hogan with details.
In a new Fox News poll, seven out of ten Americans say they believe that the Trump administration lacks a clear strategy for ending the conflict. That includes ninety-five percent of Democrats, 83% of independents, and 43% of Republicans. The ongoing unrest causing gas prices to soar and fueling criticism over affordability across the country. A growing number, forty seven percent of voters, say they believe the conflict with Iran will make the US less safe in the long run.
What are the details and implications of North Korea’s recent short‑range ballistic missile launches?
That is up from thirty nine percent in April.
The US continues its naval blockade of Iranian ports while Iran is restricting shipping through the Strait of Hormuz. Fighting also continues across the wider region in the Mideast. North Korea is keeping up the pressure on its neighbors and Washington launching two more ballistic missiles just days after threatening to strengthen its nuclear arsenal. Fox's Paul Stevens has details on that.
North Korea fired two short range ballistic missiles from its eastern coast on Sunday, both landing in the sea off North Korea. South Korea's military saying the launches came about three hours apart with one missile traveling roughly two hundred and eighty miles and the other more than three hundred seventy miles. Japan says neither landed in its territorial waters.

According to the latest Fox News poll, Democrats have higher engagement, with 64% of Democrats saying they're extremely interested in the election and 71% saying they're certain to vote. And when it comes to congressional vote preference, the latest Fox News polling shows that Democratic candidates have the advantage over Republicans. Now on the subject of demographics, Fox News polling shows that women under the age of 35, Latinos, and white voters with a college degree give Democrats their edge. White men and non-college educated white voters are the strengths for the GOP.
Republicans are attacking Democrats for being too far left, while Democrats are criticizing President Trump over his handling of affordability issues and the conflict with Iran. The party in power has historically lost congressional seats in the midterm elections.
Which voter groups are giving Democrats an edge and how might this affect congressional control?
