Trump's Approval Rating Hits New Low Amid Inflation Concerns

Donald Trump's presidential approval rating fell recently, reaching the lowest point of his term. A new Reuters/Ipsos poll highlighted dissatisfaction with his handling of inflation and the cost of living. Despite the ongoing government shutdown, the majority of Americans remain unaffected or indifferent.

Donald Trump's approval rating has slipped to the lowest level of his presidency, tying previous lows, as Americans express dissatisfaction with his inflation management, according to a Reuters/Ipsos poll.

The polling reveals a consistent disapproval rate since May, with 57% of participants expressing discontent with his performance. The poll notes a particular dissatisfaction with Trump's handling of economic issues, especially inflation, as the job market weakens.

Moreover, the ongoing government shutdown, the second-longest in US history, seems to have modest public concern, as 50% of respondents report frustration. While the Republican-majority Congress faces Democratic opposition over health subsidy extensions, public support for these subsidies remains strong.
