Trump approval rating falls to record low of 32% amid Iran war and cost-of-living concerns
A Reuters/Ipsos poll found President Donald Trump's approval rating at 32%, the lowest of his political career, down from 35% the prior week. Republican support dropped to 73% from 82%, driven by dissatisfaction with the Iran war and rising costs.
