President Trump's approval rating has hit a new low, with voters increasingly frustrated over the economy, inflation, and the war with Iran. A recent Fox News poll shows that 58% of voters cite rising costs as their top economic concern, with 77% believing the economy is in bad shape.

The poll, conducted from May 15-18, found that Trump's disapproval rating on the economy has climbed to 71%, with only 29% approving of his handling of the issue. On inflation, just 24% of voters approve of Trump's performance, a steep fall from 35% in January.

Rising gas prices are also taking a toll, with 86% of voters calling them a problem, and 51% labeling them a 'major' issue. The war with Iran is seen as the primary driver of the price surge, with 91% of voters pointing to it as the main culprit.

Despite most Americans believing the US is winning the war, opposition to military involvement is growing, with 60% of voters now opposing US action in Iran. Half of voters think the war will last a year or longer, and 6 in 10 favor setting a limited timeframe for US involvement.
