President Donald Trump's approval rating has fallen to a new low of 33% during his second term, matching the previous low from December 2017, according to a Reuters/Ipsos poll released recently. The survey found that 64% of respondents expressed dissatisfaction with his performance. This decline in popularity follows a joint US-Israel military action against Iran, which disrupted one-fifth of global oil trade and caused fuel prices to surge.
At a rally in New York, Trump defended the higher fuel costs, stating that paying "a little more" is worthwhile to prevent a "very bad country" from acquiring nuclear weapons. However, only about 20% of Americans believe the conflict was worth the cost. Approximately 80% of Americans, including 87% of Democrats and 71% of Republicans, expect prolonged US involvement, contradicting Trump’s earlier promises.
The war and rising prices are causing concern among Republicans ahead of the November 3 midterm elections, where they aim to maintain their House majority. For the first time in a decade, voters prefer Democrats as better economic managers (38% vs. 35%), and the Republican advantage on immigration has narrowed to just two percentage points. The online poll surveyed 1,166 American adults with a margin of error of 3%.
