Trump's Popularity Plummets Amid Growing Anger Over Iran War and Fuel Crisis

US President Donald Trump's popularity has sharply declined in recent days, reaching its lowest levels since his re-election and return to the White House. Informed sources, based on a recent opinion poll, reported that this drop is driven by growing public discontent with the current administration's foreign and economic policies.

The results of the four-day poll, which concluded early this week, showed that approval for Trump's performance in office settled at just 36%. This figure represents a significant decrease compared to the 40% recorded in last week's poll, indicating a gradual erosion of the president's support base.

Analysts attribute this decline primarily to the skyrocketing fuel prices that have recently hit American markets. The energy crisis began to worsen since the United States, in cooperation with Israel, launched coordinated military strikes targeting sites in Iran on February 28th.

The pressures were not limited to gasoline prices but extended to the cost of living in general, an issue that was a cornerstone of Trump's election campaign. Only 25% of poll participants expressed satisfaction with how the White House is managing inflation and the financial burdens of living.

Although Trump's standing remains relatively strong within the Republican Party, signs of unease have begun to clearly emerge among his supporters. The percentage of Republicans who disapprove of his handling of living costs has risen to 34%, compared to about 27% earlier this month.

The current war with Iran represents a fundamental turning point in the presidency's trajectory, especially since Trump came to power with explicit promises to end foreign military interventions. Engagement in a new armed conflict appears to have shaken the confidence of a segment of voters who had hoped to avoid what the president previously described as 'stupid wars'.

According to statistical data, 61% of Americans now oppose military strikes against Iran, a significant increase from last week. In contrast, the percentage of supporters of these military operations has fallen to 35%, reflecting a widening gap in public rejection of the escalatory policy in the Middle East.

Regarding the congressional midterm elections scheduled for next November, the picture remains complex for both major parties. Despite the president's declining popularity, 38% of registered voters still believe that Republicans are better equipped to manage the economy than Democrats.

This poll was conducted online with the participation of over 1,200 American citizens from various states and political affiliations. Experts confirm that the three-percentage-point margin of error strongly indicates the accuracy of the results, which reflect a general mood of concern about the economic and security future.

The biggest challenge facing the Trump administration is how to balance its military ambitions in the region with domestic stability threatened by rising prices. If energy costs continue to climb, Republican allies may face significant difficulties in maintaining their parliamentary majority in the upcoming elections.

The war in Iran changes the situation for a president who took office promising to avoid stupid wars.
