Donald Trump's approval rating has fallen to 33% in the United States, according to a new poll released on Monday by the University of Massachusetts Amherst, which also found that support for his handling of the war against Iran is even weaker.
For context, the Amherst survey tracks attitudes towards Donald Trump at regular intervals and has recorded a steady erosion in support over the past year. The president's job approval in this polling series stood at 44% last April and 38% in July. Separate national surveys released last week by Quinnipiac University and AP‑NORC both also placed Trump's approval at 38%, while a Fox News poll gave him 41%, suggesting that the Amherst figure is at the lower end of an already narrow range.
