Trump's Approval Rating Falls to 33%, Lowest of Presidency Amid Iran Conflict
President Donald Trump's approval rating has dropped to 33%, the lowest of his presidency, according to a Reuters Ipsos poll conducted over four days. The poll found 64% of Americans disapprove of his performance, with 80% expecting the US conflict with Iran to last an extended period. The war, triggered by US strikes on Iran, has disrupted global oil trade and increased fuel prices, affecting US households and political dynamics ahead of the November midterm elections. Trump has defended higher gas prices as necessary to prevent Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons.
