# Trump approval hits record low amid Iran and economic strain > Live situation record from CLSTR: https://clstr.news/situations/trumps-disapproval-rating-surges-from-midapril-to-midmay-2026 > Updated: 2026-09-06T18:55:38.000Z. Sources: 607. Developments: 99. President Trump’s approval ratings have hit a record low of 33 percent, according to a Focaldata poll for the Financial Times. This decline is increasingly visible within his own base; an NBC News survey shows strong approval of his job performance among Republicans fell from 52 percent in the spring to 41 percent. Specifically, strong approval regarding his handling of the Iran conflict dropped 18 percentage points among Republicans to 30 percent, and fell 21 points among MAGA-aligned Republicans to 43 percent. Economic dissatisfaction remains a primary driver, with 57 percent of respondents reporting their personal finances have worsened. While President Trump has used Truth Social to predict that gasoline prices could fall to $3 per gallon or even below $2 per gallon following a US military victory, current market realities show the opposite. Escalating military tensions have driven Brent crude to approximately $99.35 per barrel and WTI to $94.23 per barrel. Conflict with Iran continues to intensify. US Secretary of War Pete Hegseth claimed Iran’s oil tanker fleet is defenseless following the destruction of its navy and air force, yet Iranian officials have threatened severe repercussions for attacks on energy facilities. Mohsen Rezaei, secretary of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council, announced preparations for a maritime blockade in the Persian Gulf. Meanwhile, the US military is reportedly considering a reduced Middle East footprint after Iranian strikes resulted in the deaths of 18 service members. ## Claims - Donald Trump's approval rating has fallen to 33 percent.
