Trump's Approval Rating Hits New Low in the US

A poll conducted over four days and completed on Monday (23/3) shows that 36% of US citizens are satisfied with Trump’s performance, down from 40% recorded in a Reuters/Ipsos poll the previous week. The latest poll indicates that only 25% of respondents are satisfied with the way Trump is handling cost-of-living issues, a key issue that Trump himself considers a crucial factor in his 2024 presidential election victory. Only 29% of respondents are satisfied with Trump’s economic performance, which is the lowest rating from his second presidential term and lower than any economic satisfaction level from his predecessor, former US President Joe Biden, according to the poll. After more than three weeks of war against Iran, Trump is facing increasingly strong calls from political allies, business leaders, and even his own MAGA (“Make America Great Again”) base to end the conflict. Several key MAGA opinion leaders have publicly voiced their opposition, including Trump’s former chief strategist Steve Bannon, political commentator Tucker Carlson, and media figure Megyn Kelly.
