President Trump Approval Ratings Drop Amid Indiana Primary Wins
President Donald Trump‘s job approval rating has fallen to a record low of 37 percent, with 59 percent disapproving of his performance, according to a new New York Times/Siena College poll.
Voters express significant disapproval of Trump’s handling of the cost of living (69 percent) and the Iran war (65 percent), with a third of Republicans also disapproving of his economic policies.
Inflation has steadily increased, particularly energy costs, with gas prices exceeding $4 per gallon, a rise attributed to the Iran war disrupting global oil supplies.
Most voters are pessimistic about the Iran war ending soon and do not believe the benefits of conflict outweigh the costs, with many opposing a resumption of hostilities.
These low approval ratings are consistent across multiple polls, and even within his own party, Trump has lost ground on economic and cost-of-living issues.
