Trump hits his rock bottom in major approval ratings poll
The Independent • • nation
Key Points:
- President Donald Trump's approval rating has dropped to 33 percent, the lowest of his presidency, with 64 percent disapproving, according to a recent Reuters/Ipsos poll.
- The decline in approval follows Trump's military strikes on Iran, which disrupted a fifth of global oil trade, causing gasoline prices to surge and impacting U.S. households.
- The poll indicates widespread skepticism about the conflict with Iran, with 80 percent of Americans believing U.S. involvement will be prolonged, and only 20 percent viewing the war as worthwhile.
- Economic concerns have shifted voter preference toward Democrats, who are now favored over Republicans as better managers of the economy and cost of living, while Republican support on immigration has also declined significantly.
- The Reuters/Ipsos poll surveyed 1,166 U.S. adults with a 3-point margin of error and highlights growing challenges for Republicans ahead of the November midterm elections.
