President Donald Trump’s<\/a> approval rating has plummeted to a record low during his second term in office, and is now tied for his lowest approval rating ever as commander-in-chief, according to a new poll.<\/p>\n

Only 33% of those surveyed in a new Reuters\/Ipsos poll approve of the 45th and 47th president’s job in the White House. The rating is down from 35% last week. A survey of 1,166 respondents showed that 64% disapproved of Trump’s job performance.<\/p>\n

Trump hit 33% approval in December 2017, his lowest during his first term in office, according to Reuters\/Ipsos.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, 80% of survey respondents said they expect the war in Iran<\/a> “will go on for an extended period of time.”<\/p>\n

The war began in February, and was explained to Americans as mission to wipe out the Middle Eastern country’s<\/a> nuclear weapons program<\/a>. Iranian attempts to assert dominance over the Strait of Hormuz have complicated matters.<\/p>\n

One fifth of the world’s oil traverses the Strait, and the effects have been felt at the pump.<\/p>\n

Since the war began, national average gas prices<\/a> have jumped from just under $3 per gallon to just over $4 per gallon, according to American Automobile Association (AAA) data. On Friday, at a rally with law enforcement in New York touting record low crime rates, Trump defended the jump in prices at the pump.<\/p>\n

“Remember that when you have to pay a little bit more, $4, it\u2019s okay,” he said, adding that he did “the right thing,” and saying, “I’ll never apologize.”<\/p>\n

Inflation<\/a> has also spiked since the beginning of the war. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), year-over-year inflation in February was 2.4%. That number now sits at 3.4%.<\/p>\n

“President Trump has signed the largest middle-class tax cuts in history, lowered the cost of prescription drugs, sealed the border, driven violent crime to the lowest level in nearly a century, unleashed an energy revolution, and sent Americans\u2019 401(k)s climbing to record highs,” White House spokesperson<\/a> Olivia Wales told Fox News Digital in response to questions about the polling.<\/p>\n

“President Trump is cleaning up Joe Biden\u2019s mess and there is more work to do, but the United States of America has never been stronger,” she continued.<\/p>\n

The White House did not comment on whether there is a target date for ending the war<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Democrats have seized on the war, which only 35% of Americans support according to Reuters\/Ipsos<\/a>, along with affordability<\/a> in their attempts to re-take the House and Senate<\/a> in November.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
