Trump Approval at 33% Lowest in Presidency

A Reuters/Ipsos poll shows President Trump’s approval at 33% with 64% disapproval, a record low for his current term. The survey finds 80% of Americans, including majorities across parties, believe U.S. involvement in Iran will continue for an extended period, while only 16% expect a quick end. The results come as the Iran conflict weighs on global oil trading and gasoline prices, adding pressure on households and Republican lawmakers ahead of the midterm elections. Trump has defended the strikes as necessary to prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon, but his popularity has declined since the confrontation with Iran and Israel. Analysts note the extended war and inflationary concerns could influence political dynamics and GOP performance at the polls. The poll surveyed 1,166 U.S. adults with a margin of error around 3 percentage points, underscoring persistent unease about the war and the president’s leadership.
