Trump approval falls to 33%, lowest of his presidency, Reuters/Ipsos poll finds
WASHINGTON, Aug 17 (Reuters) - President Donald Trump's approval rating fell to the lowest level of his presidency with an overwhelming majority of Americans concerned the U.S. war with Iran will last a long time, according to a Reuters/Ipsos poll that concluded on Monday.
President Donald Trump's approval rating plummeted to an all-time low of 33% during his presidency, according to a recent Reuters/Ipsos poll. The survey revealed overwhelming concern among Americans regarding the extended duration of the U.S. war with Iran, with 64% disapproving of Trump's performance in the White House. This marks a significant decline from his 35% approval rating in a previous poll and the lowest point of his current term, tying with December 2017.
Trump's popularity has taken a hit after ordering strikes on Iran, which led to a global oil trade disruption and rising gasoline prices, affecting U.S. households and Republican allies defending congressional majorities in upcoming elections. Despite initially promising a short conflict, Trump now faces mounting criticism from 80% of Americans, including 87% of Democrats and 71% of Republicans, who believe the U.S. involvement in Iran will persist for an extended period.
