Trump's approval drops to career-low 32% as Republicans sour on Iran war costs

President Donald Trump's approval rating has fallen to 32 percent, the lowest of his career, according to a new Reuters/Ipsos poll, driven by Republican discontent over his handling of the cost of living during the Iran war. The four-day survey found 73 percent of Republicans approve of Trump, down from 82 percent the prior week, while only 17 percent of all respondents approve of his cost-of-living management. The issue dominates voter concerns ahead of the November 3 midterm elections, where Republicans defend narrow congressional majorities. Republican frustration has grown since Trump launched the war with Iran in February, raising gasoline and diesel prices, with disapprovers now outnumbering approvers on the economy. The poll also showed Democrats leading Republicans by eight points on midterm voting intentions, though immigration remains a strong area for Trump among his base.
