President Donald Trump's approval rating has plummeted to an all-time low of 33 percent, according to a recent Reuters/Ipsos poll. The majority of Americans, 64 percent, disapprove of his handling of his job, while 80 percent believe the US-Iran war will persist for an extended period. The poll, conducted over four days, revealed that the conflict has led to a significant increase in fuel prices, with gasoline costs up nearly 30 percent since February.
Despite initially promising to keep inflation in check and avoid long-lasting wars, Trump insisted that the Iran conflict was necessary to prevent the country from acquiring a nuclear weapon. However, the war has proven resilient, with Iran maintaining control over oil and gas exports through the Strait of Hormuz. Roughly 80 percent of Americans, including 87 percent of Democrats and 71 percent of Republicans, expect the conflict to continue for an extended time.
Only 16 percent believe the conflict will conclude within a few weeks. A recent Politico poll suggests that even a significant portion of Trump's base, 33 percent of Make America Great Again voters, find the economic costs of the war with Iran unjustifiable.
