The public popularity of Donald Trump has seen a further decline, as a recent survey recorded a significant drop in his approval rating.
According to analysts, this decline appears to reflect weakening public trust among the American people and may also influence the upcoming political landscape.
According to a survey by Reuters and Ipsos, only 34 per cent of U.S. voters are satisfied with Trump’s performance.
This figure was 36 per cent in the previous survey, and the current survey was conducted before the attack on Trump.
According to a report by Forbes, more than 85 per cent of voters are concerned that rising fuel prices could lead to an increase in the cost of living, and slightly more than half, 52 per cent of voters, say that the economy is worse under Trump than it was under President Joe Biden.
When Donald Trump became president, 47 per cent of American voters were satisfied with him, but now his rating is continuously declining.
According to the report, after the start of the war against Iran by the United States and Israel on February 28, Trump’s public support suffered a major blow, which also resulted in an increase in petrol prices.
The survey also found that only 22 per cent of people rated Trump’s performance positively on the issue of inflation, which was previously 25 per cent.
The survey indicates that the reasons behind the decline in the U.S. president’s popularity appear to be the attack on Iran and the rise in petroleum prices.
According to analysts, Trump’s declining popularity could have deep effects on the upcoming presidential race, while this trend also reflects changing public preferences in American politics.
In the coming days, it will be important to see how Trump deals with this challenge and to what extent he is able to stabilise his political position.
