President Donald Trump's approval rate held near the lowest levels of his political career in recent days as most Americans said they expected gasoline prices to keep rising amid the Iran war, according to a Reuters/Ipsos poll completed on Monday.
Some 35 percent of respondents said they approved of Trump's performance in the White House, unchanged from a prior Reuters/Ipsos poll conducted in mid-May.
The reading was just above the lowest rating of his current term in office - 34 percent in an April Reuters/Ipsos poll - and also close to his first-term low of 33 percent in December 2017.
The Republican leader has faced widespread discontent in recent months over his decision to go to war with Iran, which has led to a surge in gasoline prices.
