Trump approval sinks to 36 percent in Reuters/Ipsos poll amid gas price spike, Iran war

President Trump's approval rating has dropped to 36 percent in a Reuters/Ipsos poll, with 62 percent of respondents disapproving of his job performance. The decline coincides with the Trump administration's military operations against Iran and a spike in gas prices, both of which appear to be weighing on public sentiment. A new low approval rating during wartime operations typically signals public concern about both foreign policy and economic conditions affecting household budgets. The poll suggests that despite Trump's return to the White House, he faces headwinds on two fronts that traditionally damage presidential popularity.
