President Donald Trump got a fresh round of bad news on Tuesday, with the release of a new poll that found his job approval rating in the low 30s.
The poll, conducted by Reuters/Ipsos, found the president languishing at 34 percent approval, with 64 percent disapproving — the lowest of Trump’s second term.
It also found that a dismal all-time low 22 percent approve of his handling of cost-of-living issues, as the Iran war continues to drive up gas prices and destabilize inflation.
The new numbers caused a stir among political commentators and observers on social media.
“Trump now at -30% job approval and -47% on cost of living. They’re linked, ya think?” wrote Larry Sabato of the University of Virginia Center for Politics.
“This includes AFTER the shooting at the correspondents’ dinner,” wrote Eric Michael Garcia of The Independent. “Voters are just done with Trump. They are angry about the economy and gas prices.”
“We are now deep in George W. Bush post-Katrina polling territory now,” wrote political commentator Russell Drew.
This follows a number of other polling outfits in recent weeks that have yielded similar results — including an Associated Press/NORC poll that found even one in three Republicans disapprove of his performance.
