Trump's Approval Rating Hits New Low in His Term
According to CCTV News, a latest Reuters/Ipsos poll shows that the approval rating of US President Donald Trump has dropped to a new low in his current term, mainly affected by the rising cost of living in the United States and the situation in Iran. This four - day national survey in the United States shows that only 34% of Americans approve of Trump's performance in office, which is a further decline from the 36% approval rating in mid - April and significantly lower than the 47% approval rating when he took office in January 2025. The poll shows that the public's dissatisfaction with economic issues has intensified. Only 22% of the respondents approve of his performance in terms of "cost of living", a continued decline from the previous 25% approval rating.

It is reported that this survey collected the opinions of 1,014 American adults, with a margin of error of about ±3 percentage points. Most of the survey data was collected before the shooting incident at the White House Correspondents' Association Dinner. (CCTV News)
