President Donald Trump’s approval rating continues to tumble amid voters’ anger at his war in Iran and its negative impacts on inflation and the economy.
A spate of new surveys shows Trump’s approval in the mid to low 30s—an abysmal number that suggests he is starting to lose even some of his base.
A new Verasight/Strength In Numbers poll released Tuesday morning finds Trump’s approval at 35%, with a whopping 61% disapproving of the job he’s doing in office. That’s down another 2 percentage points from March, when the same pollster found Trump with 37% approval.
A new Reuters/Ipsos poll finds Trump at a 36% approval rating, though that is unchanged from last month. However, an American Research Group survey published on Tuesday has Trump’s approval at a second-term low of 32%—down another 2 points from the pollster’s March survey. That 32% approaches the low seen by former President George W. Bush during the height of the 2008 financial crisis and his deeply unpopular Iraq War.
The polls largely attributed Trump’s low standing to Americans’ frustrations with his handling of the economy.
