According to a Reuters/Ipsos survey published on March 24, U.S. President Donald Trump’s approval rating has fallen to 36 percent. The figure marks the lowest point of his second term since returning to the White House.
The decline is directly tied to the administration’s handling of the ongoing war with Iran. The geopolitics of the conflict have triggered a surge in domestic fuel prices and heightened economic anxiety across the United States, dragging down the president’s overall job performance metrics.

This new low continues a downward trajectory observed throughout the month. An earlier NBC News national poll released on March 8 signaled that a clear majority of Americans disapproved of the White House’s strategy regarding the Middle East conflict. The combination of foreign military engagement, localized disruptions including airport turmoil, and compounding inflationary pressures has pushed his second-term approval ratings to levels mirroring the lowest points of his first term.
