Donald Trump approval ratings crash to lowest ever amidst U.S.-Iran war. Why are Americans not happy with their President?

The current ratings also lower than the lowest point of approval in the Trump's first Presidency tenure.

More than 2,000 people have been killed ⁠across the Middle East since the U.S. and Israel attacked Iran nearly three ​weeks ago and Iran launched strikes in response. The dead include 13 U.S. service members. Tit-for-tat ​strikes on energy plants across the Middle East have sent energy prices sharply higher, weighing on stock markets and raising concerns of a resurgence in inflation that has haunted the U.S. economy since the COVID pandemic.
