Donald Trump’s approval rating on the economy has slumped over the past month as the Iran war drives prices higher, according to a new AP-NORC poll, with even Republicans showing less faith in his leadership.

The findings from The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research show a president who is struggling with unfulfilled promises to tame inflation and testing Americans’ patience with a conflict in the Middle East that has dragged on longer than expected.

Trump’s approval rating on the economy dropped to 30% in April from 38% in a March AP-NORC poll. A similarly low share of U.S. adults, 32%, approve of the president’s leadership on Iran, which is unchanged since last month.

    How nearly 1 in 3 Americans can still approve of his handling of the economy is beyond me. It’s almost like those people are shut-ins who spend all their waking hours absorbing the bullshit Fox News is pumping out. Oh wait…

      When the country is run by ex ‘entertainment’ media hosts and the media is controlled by billionaires peddling conservative propaganda for decades and that said country has [purposely crafted] the worst education system in the first world… this is the results.

      You and the rest of the sane world may think this is a travesty but it is by design and working as intended.
