US President Donald Trump’s job approval rating has fallen to 32 percent among US voters, according to a new poll by Quinnipiac University. The survey indicates a decline in support for the president across key policy areas, including the economy and foreign affairs.
Support within the president’s own party has also decreased. The poll found that 76 percent of Republican voters approve of Trump’s job performance. This represents a drop from previous measurements.
Republican support for President Trump dropped by 9 percentage points from the previous Quinnipiac University poll, which the university stated recorded an 85 percent approval rate among GOP voters on June 24, though this specific prior measurement remains unverified and is.
Dissatisfaction with Iran Conflict
The ongoing conflict with Iran has emerged as a significant source of discontent. The Quinnipiac University poll reports that most respondents expressed dissatisfaction with the war, citing rising energy costs and the deaths of 18 US soldiers as consequences of the conflict.
Only 36 percent of respondents stated that the US is winning the conflict. Among those who expressed an opinion on the war, 66 percent said the benefit it provides is not worth the cost.
Policy Disapproval Rates
Disapproval extends to specific presidential policies. The survey found that 57 percent of respondents disapprove of Trump’s immigration policy. Additionally, 62 percent disapprove of his handling of both the economy and foreign policy.
These findings align with other recent surveys. A separate poll conducted by CNN found that 34 percent of US voters approve of President Trump’s performance in his second term.
