Trump's approval drops to historic low of 32% as Republicans turn away

Donald Trump's approval rating has fallen to 32%, the lowest of his political career, amid growing American discontent over the cost of living and the war against Iran. The decline extends to Republican voters, according to a new Reuters/Ipsos poll. Overall support dropped three points in a week, from 35%, while Republican approval fell sharply from 82% to 73%. Only 17% approve of Trump's handling of the cost of living, and for the first time, more Republicans disapprove than approve of his performance on this issue. Just 34% approve of the attacks on Iran. The war has cut global access to Middle Eastern oil and gas, threatening higher inflation. Democrats hold an eight-point lead in congressional voting intentions for the November midterms. Immigration remains a strong area for Trump, with 79% Republican approval. The poll surveyed 1,277 adults with a three-point margin of error.
