The data suggests a potential shift in voter sentiment, with many polls showing Democratic leads ranging from a tie to double-digit margins.

A significant majority of voters, including a notable portion of independents and even some Republicans, view the military action in Iran as a failure. This perception has negatively impacted his overall approval, which hovers between 37% and 42%, and has led to a substantial increase in the disapproval of his foreign policy.

As the election approaches, both parties will need to address these economic anxieties to sway undecided voters and secure their positions in Congress.
