A Reuters/Ipsos poll shows Trump's approval at 36%, lowest since returning to office, amid 61% disapproval of US strikes on Iran and rising fuel prices.
- President Donald Trump's approval rating fell to 36% in a Reuters/Ipsos poll that closed Monday, down from 40% last week and marking his lowest point since returning to the White House.
- Surging fuel prices and widespread disapproval of the war in Iran, launched by the U.S. and Israel on February 28, drove the decline despite Trump's prior promise to avoid "stupid wars."
- Some 61% of Americans now disapprove of the military strikes, while only 25% approve of Trump's handling of the cost of living, a central issue in his 2024 campaign.
- Disapproval among Republicans over Trump's handling of the cost of living rose to 34% from 27% last week, though his overall standing within the party remains mostly strong.
- There is little sign Trump's declining popularity is dragging down Republican allies seeking to keep control of Congress, with 38% of voters preferring Republicans as economic stewards versus 34% for Democrats.
