Trump achieves lowest approval rating of political career in blistering new poll: report
Source: Raw Story · Bias: Far Left
Summary
While President Donald Trump has long been plagued by historically low approval ratings, a new poll shared exclusively with Zeteo revealed Monday that the president may very well have just scored the single-worst approval rating of his political career.Conducted by the University of Massachusetts Amherst, the new national poll revealed that “only 33% of Americans approve of the job he’s doing,” and that a staggering 62% disapproved, Zeteo reported. The poll’s publication also came just days after Trump promoted the idea of running for an unconstitutional third term, the timing of which exposed “just how delusional our president really is,” Zeteo’s Andrew Perez wrote.While a historic low for the president, Perez noted that Trump’s abysmal approval rating could dip even further were he to authorize a ground invasion of Iran, an idea he’s been entertaining for weeks.“Only 8% of Americans believe the US should send ground troops, and 67% disagree with the idea, per the UMass poll,” Perez wrote.Self-identified MAGA supporters have largely been supportive of Trump’s war against Iran. However, the new poll shows that a ground invasion would flip that on its head, as “not even MAGA voters want their Mad King to put boots on the ground in Iran,” Perez wrote.“Among people who ‘very much’ identify with MAGA, 30% say the US should put boots on the ground in Iran, while 36% of MAGA devotees disagree,” Perez continued.Trump has reportedly been looking for a way out of the U.S. war against Iran he initiated late last month as the conflict continues to send oil prices soaring. He has repeatedly claimed to be engaged in peace talks with Tehran, but Iranian officials have refuted those claims and say they have ignored the Trump administration’s attempts to restart negotiations, citing two previous instances of U.S. strikes during ongoing talks.
