Trump approval rating drops to 37% ahead of US midterms: WSJ poll
US President Donald Trump's approval rating has fallen to 37%, the lowest for any president before midterms since George H.W. Bush, a new WSJ poll shows.
A recent Wall Street Journal poll reveals US President Donald Trump's approval rating has plummeted to 37%, the lowest pre-midterm figure since George H.W. Bush in 1990. This marks the lowest support for a president ahead of the midterms in the Journal's surveys. The poll, conducted just weeks before the November elections, found 37% of voters approve of Trump's performance, the lowest pre-midterm rating in the Journal's records.
The survey comes at a time when key issues like the economy, cost of living, immigration, and the Iran conflict dominate US politics. On the economy, 60% of respondents said Trump's policies have worsened matters, while 25% believe they have improved them. Another 10% think policies have no effect, and 5% were unsure or didn't specify.
The poll results coincide with the ongoing Iran war, now in its seventh month, and its impact on US energy costs, with the average price of regular gasoline hitting $4.48 per gallon.
