US President Donald Trump’s approval rating has fallen to 32 per cent, the lowest of his political career, according to a Reuters/Ipsos poll. Republican approval also declined as respondents expressed dissatisfaction with his handling of living costs amid the unpopular Iran war.

US President Donald Trump’s approval rating has fallen to 32 per cent, its lowest level of his political career, according to a Reuters/Ipsos poll reported by the South China Morning Post. The poll found that Republicans’ assessment of Trump’s performance had also weakened. Seventy-three per cent of Republicans said they approved of his job performance, down from 82 per cent in a Reuters/Ipsos poll conducted a week earlier.

Trump’s overall approval rating in that earlier poll was 35 per cent. The latest survey closed on Sunday after running for four days. The report said fellow Republicans had become more negative about Trump’s handling of the cost of living.

It also linked the political pressure to what it described as the unpopular Iran war. The supplied material says Trump had returned to the White House, but provides no further detail about the poll’s sample, methodology or the questions asked. It also does not give a breakdown of disapproval ratings or other demographic results.

The findings represent the views recorded in the Reuters/Ipsos survey and do not establish how voters may respond in future. The available report contains no reaction from Trump or his administration.
