Public satisfaction with US President Donald Trump has reached the\nlowest point of his political career. This is evident from the\nReuters\/Ipsos poll concluded on Monday, as reported on Tuesday\n(1\/9\/2026).<\/p>\n
Trump\u2019s low popularity coincides with widespread dissatisfaction\nregarding the war in Iran and the economic management by the Republican\nParty. Only 33% of Americans approve of Trump\u2019s performance in the White\nHouse.<\/p>\n
\u201cTrump\u2019s political image appears increasingly likely to become a\nburden for the Republican Party, which must maintain its slim advantage\nin Congress in the mid-term elections on 3 November,\u201d the report\nstated.<\/p>\n
\u201cDemocratic supporters (the opposition party) appear more\nenthusiastic heading into this election, with 4ng 46% of those\nidentifying as Democrats stating they are very enthusiastic to vote in\nNovember, compared to 31% of Republicans,\u201d Reuters added.<\/p>\n
When asked which party they would choose if Congressional elections\nwere held today, 36% of independent voters in the survey chose\nDemocrats, while 22% chose Republicans.<\/p>\n
In fact, since mid-August, Trump\u2019s popularity has remained at a level\npreviously only briefly reached at the start of his first term, and far\nbelow the 47% approval rating seen at the beginning of his current term.\nThis satisfaction level is lower than the lowest point experienced by\nhis predecessor, Democrat Joe Biden, which was 35% in October 2024.<\/p>\n
Like Biden, Trump also continues to face widespread public\ndissatisfaction due to high inflation rates. Petrol prices have surged\nsince Trump ordered the US to begin bombing Iran in February, and only\n36% of Americans support the war.<\/p>\n
The US-Iran conflict had actually experienced a relatively long\nhiatus, but in recent days, both sides have launched missile attacks\nagainst each other. It is noted that since the start of the war, Iran\nhas largely blocked major transit routes for global oil trade.<\/p>\n
More specifically, approximately 71% of Americans (including four out\nof ten Republicans) disapprove of how Trump is handling the\ncost-of-living crisis. Over the past month, survey respondents stated\nthat the Democratic Party has better economic ideas compared to the\nRepublican Party.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is the first time the Democratic Party has led on this issue in\napproximately a decade,\u201d Reuters noted.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe four-day poll has a margin of error of 3 percentage points,\u201d it\nadded.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/trumps-popularity-in-the-us-plummets-dropping-33-due-to-iran-war-1788245754", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
