President Donald Trump’s approval rating has dropped to 33 percent, marking the lowest point of his presidency, according to a Reuters/Ipsos poll reported by Al Jazeera on Monday.
The figure represents a two-point decline over the previous two weeks, as reported by The Hill. Al Jazeera notes the rating has sunk to this new low as the conflict with Iran continues without a clear resolution.
The poll’s findings are consistent across multiple outlets. The Times of Israel also reported the 33 percent figure, tying the decline directly to the ongoing Iran war. Reuters, which conducted the poll in partnership with Ipsos, described the result as the lowest of Trump’s time in office.
The data suggests erosion in support beyond his core base. New York Magazine’s analysis of the polling indicates that Trump’s MAGA supporters remain his primary remaining constituency, with little indication of broader national backing at this level.
The two-point drop within a fortnight points to a steady downward trend rather than a sudden shift. With the Iran conflict dragging on, there is no immediate sign of a factor that could reverse the slide in public approval, according to the reporting.
What to watch next: Whether continued fighting in Iran pushes the rating lower in the next polling cycle, and if any policy change alters the trajectory.
