Public dissatisfaction with US President Donald Trump has reached unprecedented levels, with a recent New York Times poll indicating a disapproval rating not seen since the end of his first term in 2020. The current discontent coincides with rising gas prices, largely attributed to the ongoing war with Iran, as 77% of registered voters blame Trump for this increase. His approval rating has dropped to -19%, a stark decline from earlier in his presidency. Economic anxiety is on the rise, with 70% of voters expressing that their financial situation is worsening, up from 55% last year. Trump's approval on economic matters is particularly low, with only 34% approving of his handling of the economy and just 28% regarding inflation. Additionally, a YouGov poll shows that 58% of Americans oppose the war with Iran, with many calling for a swift resolution. As the November congressional midterm elections approach, these factors could significantly impact Trump's Republican Party.
