US President Donald Trump’s approval rating has fallen to the lowest level of his current term, as Americans grow increasingly sour on his handling of the cost of living and an unpopular war with Iran, Reuters reports citing a new Reuters/Ipsos poll.

The four-day poll, completed on Monday, shows that 34 per cent of Americans approve of Trump’s performance in the White House, down from 36pc in a prior Reuters/Ipsos survey conducted from April 15 to 20.

Trump’s standing with the US public has trended lower since taking office in January 2025, when 47pc of Americans gave him a thumbs-up.

His popularity has taken a beating since the US and Israel launched a war against Iran on February 28, which led to a surge in gasoline prices.

Only 22pc of poll respondents approve of Trump’s performance on the cost of living, down from 25pc in the prior Reuters/Ipsos poll.

The survey, conducted nationwide and online, gathered responses from 1,014 US adults and had a margin of error of 3 percentage points.
