US: Trump's Popularity Declines - War's Shadow Weighs Heavily

The popularity of US President Donald Trump has fallen to its lowest level since his return to the White House, mainly due to rising fuel prices and public disapproval of the war in Iran. A poll by the Ipsos institute showed that only 36% of Americans approve of Trump's work, a four-point drop from the previous week. Discontent is focused on how Trump is dealing with the rising cost of living, with only 25% approving of his actions. Even among Republican voters, dissatisfaction is increasing, with 20% expressing overall dissatisfaction with Trump's work. The war in Iran is considered a turning point, as 35% of Americans approve of US attacks, a percentage down from the previous week. However, there is no clear indication that Trump's declining popularity will affect the midterm elections in November.
