Trump approval falls to record low of 32%

President Donald Trump's approval rating has plummeted to a record low of 32%, according to a recent Reuters/Ipsos poll. This marks the lowest rating of his political career and is largely attributed to his unpopular handling of the cost of living and Iran war. The poll, conducted over a four-day period, found that Trump's approval among Republicans had dropped to 73% from 82% a week earlier.

Voters are increasingly disapproving of his handling of the cost of living, with 51% disapproving compared to 44% approving. This issue has become the top concern for Americans when deciding how to vote in the upcoming November midterm elections. The poll also revealed that just 34% of respondents approve of Trump's strikes on Iran, as the conflict has led to higher fuel costs and threatens to stoke inflation in the US and beyond.

Despite the decline in his approval ratings, Trump remains popular among Republicans on immigration, with 79% backing him. However, only 36% of Americans overall support his approach to immigration, and 55% disapprove.
