The Reuters/Ipsos poll, which surveyed respondents over four days, found that only 33% approved of Trump’s performance as president, while 64% disapproved.
The latest approval rating marks a decline from 35% recorded in a survey that closed earlier this month and is lower than any point observed during his current term, matching the nadir first reached in December 2017.
Trump’s standing fell sharply after he authorized military action against Iran in coordination with Israel, a move that occurred shortly after his return to the White House when just under half of Americans expressed approval of his leadership.
The ensuing hostilities disrupted roughly one‑fifth of global oil flows, driving up gasoline prices and placing additional financial pressure on U.S. households, a development that particularly threatens Republican lawmakers protecting narrow congressional majorities in the upcoming November elections.
During his campaign, Trump emphasized his intent to curb inflation and avoid protracted conflicts, initially promising that the confrontation with Iran would be brief. He later argued that military action was essential to prevent Tehran from acquiring a nuclear weapon that could pose a worldwide threat.
