Recent polls indicate that US President Donald Trump's approval ratings have declined to historic lows during his second term, amid rising gas prices linked to tensions with Iran. According to The New York Times and AP-NORC surveys, about 58% of Americans disapprove of his overall job performance, with economic approval dropping to around 30%. While many blame Trump for inflation and the Middle East conflict, some voters continue to support his immigration policies. These trends may influence the upcoming midterm elections.
