  "account": "U.S. President Donald Trump's approval rating remains at a record low, as public support for the ongoing war with Iran continues to decline, according to a recent Reuters/Ipsos poll. The conflict, which began with U.S.-Israeli strikes on Iran in February, now has only 31% of Americans backing military action against Iran, down from 37% in March and 34% earlier this month. This decline is primarily due to a drop in Republican support, with 69% now backing the war compared to 77% in March. The poll also revealed a record low of 33% approval for Trump's performance in the White House, marking the second consecutive survey with such a low figure. The conflict has contributed to a surge in gasoline prices, which are now near record highs, and 83% of Americans believe the war will continue for an extended period, up from 80% earlier this month. The poll of 1,215 U.S. adults nationwide showed that 33% of respondents favor Democrats over Republicans in the upcoming congressional elections, with independent voters slightly preferring Democrats 33% to 19%.",
  "summary": "WASHINGTON, Aug 24 (Reuters) - U.S. public approval of the war with Iran fell to its lowest level since the conflict's early days, helping to hold President Donald Trump's popularity at a record low, according to a Reuters/Ipsos poll that closed on Monday.",
