President Donald Trump's approval ratings have seen a notable uptick concerning his management of the Israel-Palestine conflict, following the recent ceasefire deal brokered by his administration. According to an AP-NORC poll conducted from October 9-13, approval ratings on this issue rose from 37% to 47% among U.S. adults. This increase is particularly noticeable among Democratic respondents, highlighting a shift in perspective on Trump's international diplomacy efforts.
In stark contrast, his rating on domestic issues remains low, with only about 40% of Americans satisfied with his overall performance. Issues such as inflation, healthcare cuts, and rising grocery prices have left many voters feeling neglected. Justin Sanders, a 31-year-old Republican voter, expressed concerns that while international peace efforts are commendable, domestic welfare is equally crucial: You kind of need to worry about your American people instead of bringing peace to the world first. We need the inflation to go down, he stated.
Despite the positive reception of Trump's foreign policy maneuverings, substantial challenges continue to plague his administration at home, including government shutdown impacts. This situation leads voters to voice their discontent, stressing that their primary concerns lie within the economy and healthcare, rather than international relations. The poll may also have implications for upcoming local elections, as a significant majority of Americans — around 70% — believe the country is heading in the wrong direction.
