Trump Approval Rating Falls to 34% Amid Economic Concerns, Reuters/Ipsos Poll Finds

The approval rating of U.S. President Donald Trump has declined further, with only 34% of American voters expressing satisfaction with his performance, according to a new survey conducted by Reuters and Ipsos.

The poll shows a drop from 36% recorded in a previous survey conducted between April 15 and 20. The latest findings reflect a continued downward trend from January last year, when 47% of voters approved of Trump’s performance at the start of his presidency.

Analysts link the decline to rising economic concerns, particularly increases in fuel and essential commodity prices following the February 28 strikes on Iran by the United States and Israel. Public satisfaction over the handling of everyday costs appears especially low, with only 22% of respondents expressing approval on this issue.

Despite the overall drop, support among Republican voters remains strong, with 78% saying they continue to back the president. Among independents, 34% lean toward the Democratic Party, while 20% express support for Republicans.

The survey also highlights limited public backing for U.S. involvement in tensions with Iran, with only 34% of voters supporting the conflict, down from 36% in mid-April.
