Public support for US President Donald Trump has fallen to 32%, a record low for his entire political career. These results were published following a public opinion poll conducted by Reuters / Ipsos. This was reported by Qazaqyia.kz citing Kursiv Media.
Support among Republicans
Support among Republicans dropped from 82% to 73% in just one week.
Assessment of economic policy
Only 17% of Americans approve of the president's actions regarding the cost of living. For the first time among Republican voters, the number of those dissatisfied with rising prices exceeded the number of supporters (51% versus 44%).
Rising cost of living
The sharp rise in the price of gasoline and diesel fuel has become the main factor behind citizens' dissatisfaction ahead of the US midterm congressional elections.
Military conflict with Iran
The military actions initiated by Trump in February triggered a prolonged surge in energy prices and dealt a heavy blow to domestic economic indicators.
Earlier, on September 6, the British newspaper Financial Times reported, citing the results of a poll conducted by Focaldata, that Trump's approval rating had fallen to 33% compared with 35% a month earlier.
Earlier, Kursiv wrote that Trump had expelled CNN, MS NOW and Politico from the White House.
