A new Atlas poll finds nearly two-thirds of Americans holding the Trump administration responsible for a deteriorating economy, while a similar share expresses uncertainty about the objectives guiding U.S. military engagement with Iran. With overall disapproval reaching 60 percent, the survey captures a convergence of economic anxiety and foreign policy unease that historically reshapes electoral landscapes. The moment reflects something older than any single administration: the public's persistent demand that power be exercised with both competence and clarity.
