President Donald Trump's approval rating has fallen to 31%, the lowest of his political career, according to a new Reuters/Ipsos survey.
In the same poll, Trump's Republican Party is also at a significant disadvantage: when asked whether they would vote for an unnamed Democratic or Republican candidate, respondents favored Democrats by 12 points.
Disapproval of Trump has risen steadily in recent months, particularly since the U.S.-Israel war against Iran began on Feb. 28, driving up gasoline prices and sending ripple effects through the wider economy.
A string of recent polls has documented the growing difficulties facing Trump and his party ahead of the midterm elections scheduled for Nov. 3, a contest that could determine control of the House and Senate.
An NBC survey released on Sunday found that 71% of Americans say the country is on the wrong track and that 55% would vote Democratic if the election were held that day.
A Washington Post/ABC/Ipsos poll released on Monday likewise put Trump's approval rating at a low of 33%, with 7 in 10 respondents saying gasoline is becoming unaffordable.
