      <title>Trump’s approval rating hits new low as poll shows rising economic concerns</title>
      <link>https://english.aaj.tv/news/330458243/trumps-approval-rating-hits-new-low-as-poll-shows-rising-economic-concerns</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Donald Trump’s approval rating has dropped to a new low, according to a Washington Post-ABC News-Ipsos poll, as the Iran war drives higher prices and economic uncertainty.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The survey found Trump’s overall approval at 37%, down two points from February, while his disapproval rose to 62%, the highest of his two terms.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Republican support remains strong at 85%, while 56% of Republican-leaning independents said they approve of his performance.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;However, approval among independents has fallen to 25%, described as a new low for that group.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The poll also shows growing dissatisfaction with Trump’s handling of the economy, with only 34% approving of his economic management and 33% approving of his handling of the Iran war.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Inflation and rising fuel prices linked to the conflict have contributed to higher living costs.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The consumer price index rose 3.3% in March compared with a year earlier.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A separate AP-NORC poll also showed low approval figures, with 30% on the economy and 32% on the war.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The survey of 2,560 adults was conducted between April 24 and 28.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Overall, the results show a divided public, with 34% trusting Republicans, 33% trusting Democrats, and the remainder expressing no preference or trust in either party.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;With six months to go before the midterm elections, the data suggest potential challenges for Republicans holding narrow majorities in Congress, with Democrats holding a small lead in congressional voting preference.&lt;/p&gt;
