His handling of the ongoing Iran conflict received especially poor approval, with only 31% support and 59% disapproval, though disapproval has decreased from 64% earlier in the year. trump\u2019s job approval remains low-around 35%-though slightly improved from previous figures. The U.S. economy is also a point of concern, with only about 25% rating it as good or excellent and over 50% perceiving it as worsening.Rising oil prices due to renewed tensions with Iran threaten the economy further.<\/p>\n<p>Trump&#8217;s governance faces criticism over two recent fatal shootings involving ICE, adding to public backlash amid ongoing political tensions. to divert attention,Trump emphasizes election integrity and campaigns via speeches. Historically, his lowest approval was 29% after the Capitol riot in January 2021, with Harry S.Truman holding the record at 22% in 1952. The declining approval may favor Democrats in upcoming midterm elections, as polls show they have a slight edge over Republicans in controlling Congress, with Democrats leading in House and competitive chances in the Senate.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<article class=\"fn-body\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">President <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/donald-trump\/\" type=\"post_tag\" id=\"4\">Donald Trump<\/a> remains low in new approval ratings, with only 37% of people saying they approve of his job performance in his second term so far.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The latest <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/d3nkl3psvxxpe9.cloudfront.net\/documents\/econtoplines_2CLnlus.pdf\" type=\"link\" id=\"https:\/\/d3nkl3psvxxpe9.cloudfront.net\/documents\/econtoplines_2CLnlus.pdf\"><em>Economist<\/em>\/YouGov poll<\/a>, with more than 1,600 respondents between July 10 and 13, comes as the war in <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/iran\/\" type=\"post_tag\" id=\"100\">Iran<\/a> continues with no end in sight.
