A new Reuters/Ipsos poll suggests President Donald Trump is facing deep public skepticism not just over policy but over his temperament as the White House deals with backlash tied to the Iran war and Trump's escalating feud with Pope Leo. The six-day national survey, which ended this Monday, April 20, found Trump's job approval stuck at 36%, matching the lowest level of his current term.
The poll points to a broader concern about how Americans view Trump personally. According to Reuters, only 26% of respondents described Trump as "even-tempered," a strikingly low number for a sitting president managing simultaneous international and political tensions. The survey also found that 51% of Americans said Trump's mental sharpness had worsened over the last year, including sizable shares across party lines.
