Exclusive: Trump approval falls to lowest of his term over prices and Epstein files, Reuters/Ipsos poll finds

President Donald Trump's approval rating fell to 38%, the lowest since his return to power, with Americans unhappy about his handling of the high cost of living and the investigation into the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, a Reuters/Ipsos poll found.

The four-day poll, which concluded on Monday, comes as Trump's grip on his Republican Party shows signs of weakening.

The Republican-controlled House of Representatives on Tuesday passed a measure to force the release of Justice Department files on Epstein. Trump had opposed the move for months while one of his closest supporters in Congress, Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene, turned into a harsh critic over his resistance. Trump reversed his position on Sunday as lawmakers prepared to move forward without him.

The survey showed Trump's overall approval has fallen two percentage points since a Reuters/Ipsos poll in early November. The poll, which was conducted online, surveyed 1,017 U.S. adults nationwide and had a margin of error of about 3 percentage points.

Any poll I see that rates Krasnov's popularity above 35% is bogus.

Bush was so enmeshed with the Republican establishment, he had to just soft shoe it.

Not Trump. He'd happily burn down everyone and everything

was so low because even the rich knew Cheney/Rumsfeld were spending TWO TRILLION taxpayer dollars on a fake war, so that Cheney could take over the oil and divvy it up among six U.S. Oil Corporations, including Cheney's beloved Haliburton

As far as Trump's %age rating, you have to remember that ALL the Uber Wealthy who got humongous tax cuts from Trump will continue to back him, and all of the un-educated,Trailer Park white trash, will continue to vote for him regardless.....

As a white-male-boomer, I thought we made progress in 2008 but that just made these jackasses more hateful. Blame everyone else for the problems they have instead of just overcoming them with working hard and helping society. But that was too much to ask from those foul mf'ers.
