Briefing Summary
AI-generatedPresident Donald Trump's approval rating on the economy has dropped to 30% in April, according to a new AP-NORC poll. This represents a decline from 38% in March and is lower than the 32% of U.S. adults who approve of his leadership on Iran, which remains unchanged since last month. The poll was conducted from April 16-20, during which time the Strait of Hormuz was reopened by Iran and then closed again. Gasoline prices jumped after the US attacked Iran in February, contradicting Trump's promise to slash them. Only 33% of U.S. adults approve of Trump's overall job performance, down slightly from last month. The poll suggests that Trump's falling approval ratings could create problems for his party ahead of the midterm elections.
