Donald Trump’s approval rating is showing signs of recovery after the White House made progress toward ending the war in Iran, a development that also helped drive oil prices sharply lower.
The president’s approval rating has climbed to 47 percent, while 53 percent disapprove of his performance, according to the latest exclusive Daily Mail/JL Partners survey.
That marks the 80-year-old’s strongest approval figure of the year since late February, just days before the U.S. launched its campaign against Iran alongside Israel.
Trump had been stuck at 43 percent approval in Daily Mail/JL Partners polling for the past three months, only slightly above his lowest point of the year, when he registered 42 percent in mid-March.
The uptick suggests that some American voters are responding favorably to the administration’s push to bring the nearly four-month conflict to a close.
The poll was conducted from June 19 to 21, shortly after Trump traveled to France for the G7 summit, where efforts to secure peace in Iran were a major focus among world leaders. During the trip, Trump repeatedly emphasized his goal of ending the war and argued that a resolution would provide a boost to global markets.
Trump also signed a memorandum of understanding with Iran aimed at extending the ceasefire and working through the specific terms needed to end hostilities, a move that has been welcomed by investors.
At the same time, gas prices in the U.S. have been falling, with the average price for a gallon of regular dropping from $4.52 to $3.93, according to AAA.
’19 millions barrels of oil flowed out of the Hormuz Strait yesterday, an all time record,’ Trump celebrated on social media Tuesday morning. ‘Oil prices are tumbling down, and the world is a much safer place!’
Donald Trump’s approval rating is the second-best of 2026, according to the latest Daily Mail/JL Partners survey taken from June 19 to June 21. The President’s approval rating is now 47 percent compared to his 53 percent disaproval rating

Voters last month expressed major concerns over the then-teetering US economy as oil prices remained elevated.
The Daily Mail/JL Partners poll taken in May found that 59 percent of voters said the economy was getting worse.
According to the survey, Trump still holds a tight grip on his MAGA base with 82 percent of Republicans approving of the President’s performance.
Trump has also overseen a flurry of popular events spanning from the America 250 celebrations to the White House UFC event and the start of the World Cup in June.
Independents, however, remain sour on the Republicans’ leadership, with just 38 percent approval compared to 52 percent disapproval.
Hispanic voters are still firmly within Trump’s camp, too, with 45 percent approving of the President compared to 41 percent disapproving. White voters gave Trump a 46 percent approval rating in the latest survey.
Black voters delivered Trump a 38 percent approval rating, while 48 percent disapproved.
‘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,’ JL Partners founder James Johnson told the Daily Mail in a statement.

‘That makes sense, given we know voters see a clear link between gas prices and the Iran conflict being open.’
As Trump has announced a tentative deal to begin negotiating a final peace agreement with Iran, markets have rallied and hit new highs.
The S&P 500 hit an all-time high on June 2, and so did the Nasdaq Composite.
Additionally, the Dow Jone Industrial Average hit an all-time high on June 16.
Despite the gains earlier this month, all have since fallen slightly.
