President Trump’s approval rating has cratered to 36% this week – the lowest since his 2024 re-election – as soaring gas prices and backlash over the ongoing Iran conflict rattle even his MAGA loyalists, per a new Reuters/Ipsos poll.
🚨 Key takeaways: • Only 25% approve of his handling of inflation & living costs • Economic approval sinks to 29% – lower than Biden’s worst numbers • 72% of young voters under 35 disapprove of his leadership
⚡ Why it matters: The "America First" president now faces revolt from allies like Steve Bannon and Tucker Carlson, who’ve publicly demanded an end to the 3-week-old Iran war. Gas prices averaging $5.40/gallon nationwide aren’t helping 💸.
📣 Soundbite: "When your own base starts quoting Rage Against the Machine lyrics at rallies, you know there’s trouble," tweeted conservative analyst Ben Shapiro.
🌍 Global impact: The conflict has disrupted 18% of the world’s oil supply, spiking energy markets. Asian markets fell sharply Tuesday as investors brace for prolonged instability.
