President Donald Trump's approval rating has fallen to 32%, marking the lowest point of his presidency.
According to a poll released on September 21 by Reuters and Ipsos, only 32% of respondents support Trump's handling of his duties, a decline of 3 percentage points from the previous week's survey, which recorded a 35% approval rating. This is reported to be the lowest approval rating of Trump's political career.
The drop in support is attributed to the prolonged Iran War, which has increased the burden of living costs, causing even Trump's Republican base to turn away.
In fact, Trump's approval rating among Republicans has decreased significantly, falling from 82% to 73% in just one week.
Reuters noted that since the onset of the Iran War in February, rising prices for gasoline and diesel have exacerbated complaints among Republican supporters regarding the cost of living.
In this latest poll, only 17% of respondents rated Trump's response to cost of living issues positively. Among Republican supporters, negative evaluations of his handling of inflation have surpassed positive ones for the first time, with 51% disapproving compared to 44% approving.
