Reuters poll: Trump's approval falls to lowest level of his presidency
About 31% of Americans approve of Donald Trump's performance as president, according to a Reuters poll. It is the lowest figure of his time in office.
US President Donald Trump's approval rating has dropped to a record low, according to a Reuters poll that concluded on Monday. Roughly 31% of Americans approve of the way Trump is doing his job as president, the lowest reading of his presidency.
What the poll shows
The poll ran for four days. Compared with the previous reading two weeks earlier, support has slipped by one percentage point.
Why it matters
According to Reuters, Americans are worried about high gasoline prices and appear ready to punish Trump's Republican Party in the congressional elections scheduled for 3 November. Those elections will determine the makeup of the US legislature, Congress.
The results suggest that fuel costs are weighing on voter sentiment shortly before the vote.
