Trump's Approval Hits Low Amid Cost of Living Concerns
Donald Trump's presidential approval rating has dipped to tie the lowest level of his term due to increasing disapproval of his handling of cost-of-living issues, according to a recent Reuters/Ipsos poll. The government shutdown continues to draw mixed reactions, impacting federal workers and facing Democrat opposition.
In a stark reflection of public sentiment, President Donald Trump's approval rating has matched its lowest point during his tenure, as dissatisfaction mounts over his management of economic challenges. The revelation comes from a recent Reuters/Ipsos poll highlighting increasing concerns over the rising cost of living.
The poll findings indicate 40% approval of Trump's performance, marking a slight decrease from earlier surveys. Notably, 57% of Americans reportedly disapprove of how Trump has handled national cost pressures, a crucial factor that contributed to his victory over Joe Biden in the previous election.
Amidst a prolonged government shutdown with mixed public reactions, Democrats stand firm in Congress against a Republican majority to secure health insurance subsidies. Despite the political stalemate, the poll suggests broad public backing for the continuation of these subsidies, despite potential impacts on the federal budget deficit.
