Trump's approval rating declines amid Iran conflict and inflation concerns
President Trump's approval rating on the economy fell to 30% in April from 38% in March, according to an AP-NORC poll conducted April 16-20, as the ongoing conflict with Iran drove up gasoline prices. His overall job approval also declined to 33%, with Republicans showing reduced confidence in his leadership. The poll reflects concerns about unfulfilled promises to control inflation and rising gas prices despite Trump's earlier pledges to lower them.
