A Reuters/Ipsos poll shows President Donald Trump's approval rating has fallen to 33%, the lowest level of his presidency, amid public concerns over the war between the United States and Iran and rising living costs. The poll, conducted over four days and completed on Monday, August 17, found that only 33% of respondents approved of Trump's performance, while 64% disapproved. The approval rating fell from 35% earlier in the month and matched the low point of his first term in December 2017. The poll was released as the 60-day negotiations under the memorandum of understanding between the United States and Iran are set to end without progress, while a Financial Times poll found that 53% of voters feel their standard of living has worsened under Trump.
