President Donald Trump reaches record low approval rating during ongoing Iran war
President Donald Trump saw his approval rating fall to 33% in a recent Reuters/Ipsos survey, marking a record low for his second term and tying his lowest rating from his first term. The poll, conducted among 1,166 U.S. adults, indicates that while the administration announced the ongoing conflict with Iran, a majority of Americans remain concerned about its duration. Approximately 80% of voters believe the U.S. involvement in Iran will continue for an extended period, with gas prices rising significantly due to the war's impact on global oil trade. Trump said he is in no hurry to end the war and threatened to expand the conflict by attacking Oman if negotiations interfere with peace efforts. Despite the low approval ratings, the administration announced that the Iran war has driven up fuel costs and disrupted the economy. The survey also revealed that for the first time in a decade, more voters prefer Democrats to handle the economy, while Republicans remain generally supportive of the president's overall job performance.
