Analysis based on 19 articles · First reported Mar 24, 2026 · Last updated Mar 25, 2026
The ongoing war between the United States and Israel against Iran, coupled with Iran's blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, has led to a significant surge in fuel prices, impacting the global economy. This has also contributed to a decline in Donald Trump's approval rating and negative public sentiment regarding the US economy.
US President Donald Trump's approval rating has dropped to 36%, its lowest point since he returned to the White House. This decline is primarily attributed to the war he launched on Iran, which began with coordinated strikes by the United States and Israel on February 28. The conflict has led to a surge in fuel prices, exacerbated by Iran's blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, severely curtailing oil shipments from the Middle East. Public disapproval of Donald Trump's handling of the cost of living and the war is widespread, with only 25% approving of his economic stewardship. While Donald Trump's support within the United States — Republican Party (United States) remains largely strong, a growing number of Republicans are dissatisfied with his economic policies. The Reuters/Ipsos poll, which surveyed 1,272 US adults, indicates that 61% of Americans disapprove of the US strikes on Iran, and 46% believe the war will make the United States less safe in the long run. The United States is also expected to send thousands of additional soldiers to the Middle East.
