Trump's approval rating has fallen to a low point, with dissatisfaction arising from the cost of living and the Epstein case.
According to a report by Golden Finance, a Reuters/Ipsos poll shows that Trump's support rate has fallen to 38%, the lowest level since his return to the White House, due to Americans' dissatisfaction with his handling of the cost of living and the investigation into Epstein. The four-day poll, which concluded on Monday, also shows signs of weakening Trump’s control over the Republican Party. At the beginning of his second term, 47% of Americans approved of him. The nine-point drop since January brings his overall support rate close to the low point of his first term and near the lowest level achieved by his Democratic predecessor, Biden. Biden's support rate had fallen to as low as 35%, while Trump's support rate during his first term had dropped to 33%. Only 26% of Americans say Trump is doing a good job managing the cost of living, down from 29% earlier this month.
