A Reuters/Ipsos survey finds President Donald Trump’s approval rating remains near the lowest level of his political career. The poll, released Monday, shows 35% of Americans approve of Trump’s job performance in the White House, a level described as just above his current-term low. The survey also indicates that a majority of respondents expect higher fuel costs: 59% say they are bracing for gasoline prices to rise further.
Both outlets attribute the negative sentiment in part to expectations about gas prices amid the ongoing U.S. conflict with Iran. The results present a picture of continued low approval and economic concern related to energy prices. Neither source reports new policy changes within the survey timeframe, focusing instead on the current approval figures and Americans’ outlook for gasoline costs. The findings reflect public perceptions at the time the poll was conducted, with the Iran-related situation and its impact on fuel prices forming a central backdrop to respondents’ views.
