Trump approval falls to 35% as Iran war, gas prices cause Republican support to slip further - poll
The president's popularity has taken a hit this year as Americans suffer from surging gasoline prices since Trump ordered strikes on Iran in February alongside Israel.
Assessment
President Trump's approval rating drops to 35 percent according to a new poll, with the Iran war and rising gas prices cited as key factors weakening Republican backing. The poll captures a direct political consequence of the February military strikes, showing how economic strain from war spending and fuel costs can shift voter sentiment even within the president's own party. Observers should watch for further declines if gas prices remain elevated or if casualties mount.
