US President Donald Trump is facing his most severe domestic crisis since returning to the White House as public approval for his administration craters. According to a new Reuters/Ipsos poll released on Wednesday (Mar 25), Trump's approval rating has plummeted to lowest ever at 36 per cent, driven by a brutal surge in fuel prices and widespread opposition to his ongoing war in Iran. This is down four per cent from last week, when another Reuters/Ipsos poll showed Trump still had 40 per cent support. Now, with gasoline prices jumping $1 per gallon since the February 28 strikes, only 25 per cent of Americans now approve of the President's handling of the cost of living—a core pillar of his 2024 campaign.<h2>61% disapprove of Trump's Iran war</h2>As the Pentagon prepares to send thousands more troops to the Middle East, the poll revealed that Americans are getting increasingly wary of Trump's Iran war. It found that only 35 per cent of people approve of the US strikes on Iran, down from 37 per cent in a Reuters/Ipsos poll conducted last ​week. 61 per cent of citizens now openly disapprove of the military campaign.Also read | <a href="https://www.wionews.com/world/did-patriot-missiles-down-3-american-f-15-jets-over-kuwait-trump-accidentally-reveals-little-mishap-1774396550862">Did Patriot missiles down 3 American F-15 jets over Kuwait?
