Trump approval hits 33% amid Iran war and economic strain
Six months into the military conflict between the United States, Israel, and Iran, President Donald Trump's approval rating has dropped to 33%, matching his lowest levels during his presidency. Public dissatisfaction is driven by war fatigue, rising inflation, and surging fuel costs. The national average gas price has climbed from under $3 to over $4 per gallon, a spike linked to disrupted shipping in the Strait of Hormuz.
Economic indicators show increased volatility, with the US 10-year Treasury yield reaching approximately 4.7%. International oil prices have risen by roughly 16% as a result of the conflict. On the military front, the US has reported 18 deaths and nearly 500 injuries since the start of operations.
Simultaneously, the administration faces scrutiny regarding potential conflicts of interest. Reports indicate that the Trump family's crypto firm, World Liberty Financial, has received significant investments from foreign entities, including a $500 million stake from a UAE sovereign wealth fund. This comes amid broader concerns regarding the intersection of presidential power and family business interests in the Middle East.
