Trump Approval Rating Hits Lowest Ahead of US Midterm Elections Amid Iran Conflict
US President Donald Trump's approval rating has dropped to 37%, the lowest for any president ahead of midterm elections since 1990, according to Wall Street Journal polls. This decline is linked to ongoing conflict with Iran and economic concerns like rising fuel prices and inflation. Trump plans to campaign in key Republican states ahead of the November 3 midterms. The US Supreme Court recently allowed the administration to use a federal citizenship database to verify voters amid efforts to address noncitizen voting concerns.
