BlockBeats News, July 31st - Political analyst Nate Silver stated that due to the unpopular Iran War and rising gas prices, President Trump's approval rating this month has dropped to a new low since his second term. He said, "The timing coincides with the surge in natural gas prices and the escalation of the Iran conflict." As the war approaches its sixth month, American Automobile Association (AAA) data shows that as of Friday morning, the average price of gasoline in the U.S. is around $4.11 per gallon, up from about $3.15 a year ago.

According to Decision Desk HQ's average polling data, as of Friday morning, Trump's overall average approval rating is 40.6%, with an average disapproval rating of 57.5%. A Quinnipiac University poll shows that 60% of American voters oppose this war, marking the highest level of opposition since the conflict began on February 28th. Nearly three-quarters of Americans say they do not support sending U.S. troops to Iran. An AP-NORC poll also indicates that 64% of Americans believe this war is "not worthwhile." Among them, 87% of Democratic voters, 37% of Republican voters, and 68% of independent voters hold this view. (Fx168)
