Donald Trump approval hits record low amid declining support for Iran war

A Reuters/Ipsos poll indicates that President Donald Trump's approval rating has hit a record low of 33 percent. This figure matches the lowest rating recorded during both his first and second terms.

Public support for US military action against Iran has also declined, falling to 31 percent. This is a decrease from 37 percent in March and 34 percent earlier in August. The decline is largely attributed to waning support among Republican voters, whose backing for the conflict dropped from 77 percent in March to 69 percent.

Economic concerns are impacting public sentiment, as the conflict has contributed to rising US petrol prices, which have increased by over 1 USD per gallon since the hostilities began. Additionally, 83 percent of Americans surveyed believe the war will continue for an extended period. In response to the military stalemate, the administration has initiated 'Operation Economic Outcast' to target Iranian revenue sources, including oil exports.
