Harsh news for Trump
Support for President Donald Trump has dropped to record lows during his second term, according to the measurement site Silver Bulletin.
President Donald Trump's support has decreased to all-time lows during his second term, according to data compiled by the measurement site Silver Bulletin, which aggregates averages from the most significant opinion polls. As per the latest readings reported on Thursday, 40.4% of Americans support Trump. Notably, Trump's net support, calculated as the difference between his supporters and opponents, is at a deficit of 15.2 percentage points, which is three percentage points lower than the same period during his first term. Despite ongoing domestic political tensions and escalating situations like the war in Iran, Trump's core base remains consistently supportive of him.
Silver Bulletin has pointed out that Trump's approval ratings have remained relatively steady, even as the United States grapples with increased internal political strife. Interestingly, the onset of conflict, such as the war in Iran, has not adversely affected his core supporters; instead, they continue to back him during these tumultuous times. However, looming challenges may bring difficulties for Trump, particularly with rising gas prices attributed to the war, which have climbed nearly a dollar per gallon, averaging around $3.88 (approximately $1.02 or €0.88 per liter). This economic issue could significantly impact public sentiment and his political future in the coming months.
