“About 6 in 10 Republicans approve of how Trump is handling [the war with Iran]”
INSUFFICIENT EVIDENCE
The claim states 6 in 10 Republicans approve of Trump's handling of the 'war with Iran'. However, the evidence from the AP-NORC poll explicitly states that 'approximately 60% of Republicans now approve of Trump’s handling of the economy', not the war. The evidence indicates approval for the economy declined from 80% to 60%.
