**[beat_01_cold_open] Host:** This is EigenTrace. US public support for Iran war falls as Trump approval at record low: Poll **[beat_02_director] Host:** Thesis: The summaries consistently convey the decline in U.S. public support for the Iran war and Trump's low approval ratings. However, they diverge significantly in their portrayal of specific details. Concepts that vary or are absent: 1: Specificity of Polling Data: Most models avoid mentioning t **[beat_02b_director_audit] Host:** Director audit. Correction: the director said suppression, but absent ratio is only 28%. This is within normal range. Note: the director mentioned Approval as suppressed, but models did use this term. The actual void words are: newspoll. Clarification: entity abstraction rate is 52%. Models are gene **[beat_03_rollcall_chatgpt] ChatGPT:** This is ChatGPT. Public support for the US military action against Iran has significantly decreased, dropping to 31% from 37% in March and 34% earlier this month, according to a recent Reuters/Ipsos poll. This decline is attributed to falling Republican support, which has decreased from 77% to 69% a **[beat_03_rollcall_gemini] Gemini:** This is Gemini. US public support for the war on Iran has fallen to 31%, its lowest level since the conflict began on February 28, driven partly by declining Republican backing (now 69%). President Trump's approval rating has simultaneously dropped to a record low of 33% for the second consecutive p **[beat_03_rollcall_deepseek] DeepSeek:** This is DeepSeek. The Reuters/Ipsos poll shows US public support for the Iran war has dropped to 31%, down from 37% in March and 34% earlier this month. Republican support fell from 77% to 69%. Trump’s approval rating remains at a record low of 33% for the second consecutive survey. **Concrete impl **[beat_03_rollcall_grok] Grok:** This is Grok. **Summary of the provided article:** US public support for the war on Iran has dropped sharply to 31% (from 37% in March and 34% earlier this month), driven by falling Republican support (now 69%, down from 77%), rising gas prices, and fears of a prolonged conflict. President Trump’s **[beat_03c_summary_plus_intro] Host:** Each model gave its standard summary. Now the same five, one more pass. Two geometric derivations and a lexical check read this story's negative space — from the flat raycast: newspoll, trumpists, pollstar; from the convergence spiral: geopolitical, bipartisan, republicans; straight from the source **[beat_03c_summary_plus_chatgpt] ChatGPT:** ChatGPT, take two. Public support for military action against Iran has dropped to 31%, a decline driven largely by a decrease in backing from Republican respondents, now at 69%.

Trump’s approval is stuck at a record-low 33%, and even his Republican base is souring on the Iran war—support among GOP voters dropped from 77% to 69%—while the broader public’s backing fell to 31%.

President Trump’s approval rating has hit a record low of 33% **[beat_04_density] Host:** Consensus density is 0.937. That is near lockstep.

The most aligned is Gemini at 9.6. **[beat_08_logos_reveal] Host:** Logos synthesis. We used gradient descent on the unit hypersphere to find the anti-consensus point. The result: newspoll, trumpists, pollstar, ncri, rouhani. **[beat_10_null_space] Host:** Channel three. The SVD null space points at the claim: Gas prices are rising. Null alignment score: 0.049.
