President Donald Trump’s approval rating on the economy has declined, with a new AP-NORC poll showing a drop from 38% in March to 30% in April. This decline is attributed to rising prices driven by the ongoing conflict with Iran, which has also affected his approval on handling the situation there, remaining at a low 32%. The poll highlights dissatisfaction among Republicans and a broader disapproval of Trump’s handling of the cost of living, with only about a quarter of U.S. adults approving. The conflict has led to increased gasoline prices and economic uncertainty, challenging Trump’s promises to reduce costs and avoid foreign wars. This dissatisfaction could impact the Republican Party’s efforts in the upcoming midterm elections. Many Americans, including former supporters like Kathryn Bright, express regret over their support for Trump, feeling betrayed by unfulfilled promises. The consumer price index has risen, and Trump’s approach to inflation and energy costs has been criticized.
