A new Reuters-Ipsos survey indicates a significant decline in public approval for U.S. President Donald Trump, with only 35% of Americans expressing satisfaction with his performance. This marks a troubling trend as dissatisfaction primarily stems from issues related to inflation and the rising cost of living. Approximately 70% of respondents disapprove of Trump's approach to inflation, highlighting a disconnect between policy and public sentiment. The ongoing conflict in Iran has exacerbated economic concerns, particularly regarding energy prices, which are sensitive to developments in the region. Despite a slight easing in prices, 59% of Americans predict that gas prices will increase again in the coming year. Comparatively, Trump's ratings on inflation management are slightly better than those of former President Joe Biden, who recorded 29% approval during his term. Additionally, public opinion on U.S. military actions in Iran remains mixed, with 36% approving of recent strikes. These findings underscore the challenges the Trump administration faces in balancing foreign policy and domestic economic issues as the mid-term elections approach.
