Trump Suffers Fresh Blow as America Turns on Him in New Poll

Key Points:

• President Donald Trump's approval rating on handling the economy has dropped sharply to 30%, down from 38% a month ago, marking his lowest rating since returning to office, amid rising gas prices and inflation.
• Independent voters' approval of Trump’s economic performance has fallen from 30% in March to 20% in April, while Republican approval declined from 74% to 62% over the same period.
• Public perception of the U.S. economy has worsened, with about 75% of adults describing it as "very" or "somewhat" poor in April, up from roughly two-thirds in February.
• Despite the negative economic indicators, Trump has denied inflation and claimed to have built "the strongest economy in history," contradicting data showing 3.3% inflation and gas prices around $4 per gallon.
• Some former Trump supporters, like retired Air Force captain Kathryn Bright, express feelings of betrayal over unmet promises on veterans' support, foreign wars, and cost of living, reflecting growing disillusionment among voters.
