Political analyst Nate Silver said President Trump’s approval rating this month has fallen to a new low in his second term amid the unpopular Iran war and a spike in gasoline prices. "The timing aligns closely with gas prices and the renewed Iran conflict," he said. As the war approaches six months, AAA data show U.S. average gasoline at about $4.11/gal as of Friday morning, versus roughly $3.15/gal a year earlier. Decision Desk HQ poll averages put Trump’s overall approval at 40.6% and disapproval at 57.5% as of Friday morning. A Quinnipiac University poll showed 60% of U.S. voters oppose the war—the highest opposition since the conflict began on Feb. 28—and nearly three quarters oppose sending U.S. troops. An AP-NORC poll found 64% of Americans say the war is not worth it, including 87% of Democrats, 37% of Republicans and 68% of independents.
