The reading was just above the lowest rating of his current term in office &#8211; 34% \u200bin an April Reuters\/Ipsos poll &#8211; and also close to his first-term low of 33% in December 2017.<\/div><div>The Republican leader \u200bhas faced widespread discontent in recent months over his decision to go to war with Iran, which \u2060has led to a surge in gasoline prices.<\/div><div>While prices at the pump have edged lower in recent weeks amid bets the \u200bIran conflict would end, some 59% of respondents said they expected U.S. gas prices to get worse in the next year, \u200bcompared with 17% who thought they would get better, according to the six-day poll. The rest of the respondents said they weren&#8217;t sure or that prices would stay the same.<\/div><div>Trump ordered military strikes on Iran on February 28 alongside U.S. ally Israel. Iran responded with counterattacks that have largely shut \u200bdown shipping through a narrow strait that previously carried a fifth of global oil trade. The pace of attacks and counterattacks \u200bhas diminished since April but peace talks have yet to yield a lasting agreement.<\/div><h2>LOW APPROVAL ON COST OF LIVING<\/h2><div>Only 22% of Americans approve of \u200chow \u2060Trump is managing the cost of living for U.S. households, compared to 70% who disapprove. Americans are now more dissatisfied with Trump&#8217;s performance on the issue than they were of his Democratic predecessor in office, Joe Biden, who closed out his term with 29% approval on the cost of living and 63% disapproval.<\/div><div>Biden struggled with several years of high inflation which ultimately weighed on his \u200bparty in the 2024 presidential election \u200band helped lift Trump over \u2060Democrat Kamala Harris. Trump campaigned on promises to fix inflation, and persistently high fuel prices are weighing on his party&#8217;s hopes of keeping control of Congress in November&#8217;s midterm elections.<\/div><div>Some 36% of Americans \u200bsaid they approved of U.S. strikes on Iran. A smaller share &#8211; 25% &#8211; said the benefits \u200bof the strikes \u2060had been worth the costs.<\/div><div>The latest Reuters\/Ipsos poll, which was carried out nationwide, showed registered voters said they would pick Democrats over Republicans by 41% to 37% if congressional elections were held today. While polls last year showed voters trusted Republicans more on how to manage \u2060the economy, \u200btheir advantage has recently evaporated, with 36% of voters in the latest \u200bpoll saying Democrats had a better plan for the economy, compared to 37% who picked Republicans.<\/div><div>The poll, which was conducted online, gathered responses from 4,531 U.S. adults \u200band had a margin of error of 2 percentage points.<\/div><div><address><div><div><noscript>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"120\" height=\"120\" alt=\"Jason Lange\" class=\"wp-image-9\" src=\"https:\/\/reliablemovingcrews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/a8d647782541686b4c9068dd2dfa6f30.avif\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/noscript><\/div><div>Jason Lange<\/div><\/div><div><ul><li><span><div><svg><title>Email<\/title><\/svg><\/div><\/span><\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/address><\/div><\/div><p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/reliablemovingcrews.com\/?p=1407\">US judge asked to bar Trump\u2019s UFC fight at White House<\/a><\/p><p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/reliablemovingcrews.com\/?p=1405\">Senators seek probe into US transport chief road trip paid for by corporate donors<\/a><\/p><p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/reliablemovingcrews.com\/?p=1403\">Albania\u2019s Rama vows to push on with Kushner-linked luxury resort despite protests<\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>President Donald Trump&#8217;s approval rate held near the lowest \u200blevels of his political career in recent days as most Americans said they expected gasoline prices to keep \u200crising amid the Iran war, according to a Reuters\/Ipsos poll completed on Monday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1408,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[21],"class_list":["post-1409","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","tag-energy"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
