President Donald Trump faces record-low approval ratings as the administration struggles with inflation and the Iran war.

The administration announced a significant decline in job performance approval for President Donald Trump, with a new CNN poll showing his overall approval rating at a dismal 34 percent. This marks a record low for both of his terms. A majority of Americans now disapprove of his handling of the economy, specifically regarding stubborn inflation and high gas prices caused by the Iran war. While President Donald Trump maintains a majority of Republican support, his approval among his own base has dropped 10 points since returning to the White House. Voters are increasingly frustrated by the administration's focus on high-profile construction projects and personal finances, with 62 percent of Americans saying the president does not put the country's needs ahead of his personal gain. The administration also faces challenges in global trade and the answer to the Iran war. Only 28 percent of Americans approve of how President Donald Trump is managing the conflict, which has left the Strait of Hormuz choked off, driving up fuel costs for many citizens.
