US President Donald Trump's job approval rating has hit the lowest level in the Republican's second term in the White House, according to a Reuters/Ipsos poll.
The survey, which took four days and ended on Monday, shows that only 34 percent of Americans approve of Donald Trump's performance as president of the United States, down from 36 percent in the previous Reuters/Ipsos poll, which was conducted from April 15-20.
Reuters said most of the responses were gathered before Saturday night's gun attack at the annual White House Correspondents' Dinner, where Donald Trump was in attendance and was due to deliver a speech. Federal prosecutors have charged the suspect arrested in the case, a 31-year-old man, with trying to assassinate the president.
Trump's popularity in the eyes of the American public has declined since he began his second term in January 2025, when his job approval rating was at 47%.
Reuters wrote that the president's popularity has suffered because of the war launched by the United States and Israel against Iran on February 28 and its consequences, including rising fuel prices.
Only 22 percent of survey respondents approved of Donald Trump's actions regarding the cost of living. In the previous Reuters/Ipsos survey, the level was 25%.
The survey was conducted online, nationwide, with 1,014 US adults as respondents, and has a margin of error of 3 percentage points.
