A recent Reuters/Ipsos poll indicates that Trump's approval rating has fallen to an all-time low of 36%, as many Americans question his temperament and judgment due to the Iran war and his critical remarks about the Pope.

Trump's Approval Rating Reaches All-Time Low

A recent Reuters/Ipsos poll shows Donald Trump's approval rating at 36%, maintaining a historic low for his presidency. This figure, consistent with a month prior, is attributed to controversies surrounding the Iran war and critical comments made about Pope Leo XIV. Trump, who began his second term on January 20, 2025, had previously reached an approval rating of 47%.

Public Concern Over Temperament and Judgment Escalates

The poll, which concluded on April 20 after a six-day period, reveals that many Americans are questioning President Trump's temperament and judgment. Notably, a significant number of respondents, including some Republicans, expressed concerns about his emotional stability. Only 26% of those surveyed considered him 'emotionally stable'. Among Republicans, 53% viewed him as stable, while only 7% of Democrats held this view. This sentiment appears to be a reaction to Trump's recent volatile statements, including threats to destroy Iranian civilization on social media, criticism of the Pope, and military threats regarding Greenland.
