President Trump Dismisses Rising Gas Prices Amid Plummeting Approval Ratings
President Donald Trump has dismissed the rising gas prices as 'peanuts' despite new polling indicating a significant drop in his economic approval rating. The average gas price in the U.S. has reached $4.53 per gallon, according to AAA data. Trump's approval rating has fallen to 37 percent, with 59 percent of voters disapproving of his overall performance. The dissatisfaction is largely attributed to his handling of the economy and inflation, with only a quarter of voters believing he is managing inflation effectively. The Iran war and disruptions in oil supply have contributed to the high fuel costs, which are expected to remain a central issue in the upcoming midterm elections.
