The war in Iran and rising living costs have decreased Trump's public support. According to a recent poll, support for Trump, who has not achieved the desired outcome in the war with Iran and is showing signs of backing down, has dropped to around 36%, while a large portion of Americans opposes the war and finds the economic performance inadequate.
Support for U.S. President Donald Trump continues to decline following recent developments in the past weeks. Particularly, attacks on Iran and rising fuel prices have increased public dissatisfaction. According to a survey conducted by Reuters, only 36% of Americans approve of Trump's job performance. This rate was at 40% last week.
ECONOMY AND COST OF LIVING GATHERING REACTION
Support for Trump's economic performance also remained weak in the survey. Only 29% of participants found the overall performance of the economy positive, while the support rate for combating the cost of living remained at 25%. These rates are among the lowest Trump has reached during his two presidential terms, falling below those of his predecessor Joe Biden's economic approval ratings.
SUPPORT FOR THE IRAN WAR IS DECREASING
It has been observed that the war with Iran has negatively affected public support. According to the survey, 35% of Americans support the attacks on Iran, while 61% oppose them. While the support rate has decreased compared to last week, the rate of opposition has increased. 46% of participants believe that the war will make the U.S. less secure, while only 26% stated that the country would be safer.
INTRA-PARTY SUPPORT IS MAINTAINED
Trump's support among Republican voters is largely maintained. While general dissatisfaction within the party base remains limited, criticisms regarding the cost of living have increased. The approval rate, which was 47% when Trump took office, has recently hovered around 40% and has now fallen to one of its lowest levels.
