Trump approval falls to 33% as poll records lowest level of presidency
Reuters/Ipsos polling this month shows voters favour Democrats over Republicans on the economy for the first time in about a decade.
President Donald Trump's approval rating has plummeted to an all-time low of 33%, according to a recent Reuters/Ipsos poll. The drop comes after Trump ordered strikes on Iran in coordination with US ally Israel, a move that has driven up gasoline prices and put a strain on American households. A significant majority of Americans - 80% - believe the conflict with Iran will persist for a prolonged period, while just 16% expect it to conclude within a few weeks.
Trump's approval rating has now dipped to the lowest level of his entire presidency, mirroring the lowest point of his term in December 2017. The conflict's economic consequences have not gone unnoticed, with 38% of voters now believing Democrats are better suited to manage the economy and the cost of living compared to 35% who back the Republican approach.
