Donald Trump's approval rating has declined to 35%, just above the lowest point of his presidency, as revealed by a recent Reuters/Ipsos poll. This drop comes amid rising gasoline prices, which surged nearly 50% following Trump's military strikes on Iran in February. The poll indicates that 21% of Republicans now disapprove of Trump's performance, a significant increase from just 5% shortly after he took office in January 2025. Additionally, only 47% of Republicans approve of his management of the cost of living, a critical issue for many voters. Concerns about Trump's declining popularity are heightened as the midterm elections approach, with Republican strategists noting a lack of enthusiasm among GOP voters compared to Democrats. On foreign policy, 62% of Republicans approve of Trump's handling of the Iran situation, although overall public sentiment is mixed, with only 25% of all respondents believing the military actions in Iran have been justified. The poll reflects a growing divide within the Republican Party as Trump navigates these challenges.
