Trump’s Approval Rating Hits Term-Low Amid Geopolitical Tensions
President Trump's approval rating has plummeted to 41%, marking the lowest point of his presidency, according to a Reuters/Ipsos poll. The decline follows controversial policies including global tariffs and recent strikes on Iran's nuclear facilities. Only 36% of Americans support the Iran strikes, with 45% opposed and the remainder undecided. Republican voters remain largely supportive, with 69% in favor.
Geopolitical risks loom large as 79% of respondents fear retaliatory attacks on U.S. citizens, while 84% express broader concerns about the Israel-Iran conflict. Despite these tensions, the S&P 500 continues its upward trajectory, suggesting market participants view the conflict as either temporary or inconsequential to corporate fundamentals.
