Trump continues to lose the trust of Americans
Recent ABC News/Washington Post/Ipsos polls indicate that the head of the White House is rapidly destroying his political reputation.
Their results show that Trump's approval rating has overall fallen to 37%.
Moreover, it is indicated that the disapproval rating reached as high as 62% — this figure is a record high within both terms of the Republican.
One of the key problems for the US president right now is that two-thirds of Americans are convinced that the country is heading in the wrong direction.
Trump's overall approval rating is supported by his party's supporters. A whopping 85% of Republicans approve of Trump, a figure that has remained virtually unchanged during his second term.
Despite this, it became known that the part of Republicans who always strongly supported Trump has sharply decreased.

Journalists point out that this is the lowest figure among Republicans in both terms.
