**Revised News Title:** "Trump's Approval Plummets to 38%: Lowest Rating in 7 Weeks, Amid Epstein Row and Rising Concerns Over Personal Gain" **Revised Article:** US President Donald Trump's approval ratings continue to slide, reaching a new low of 38% in the latest weekly poll by the Economist/YouGov. This marks the seventh consecutive week his net approval rating has remained at or below -15. The survey, conducted from November 28 to December 1 among 1,628 US adults, showed that a significant majority, 57%, disapprove of the way Trump is handling his job. The poll highlights growing concerns over Trump's use of his office for personal gain, with 56% of Americans believing he is doing so, a 4% increase from May. Furthermore, only 21% of respondents want to see Trump serve another term as president after 2028, while 68% are opposed to the idea. The survey also revealed that Trump's handling of the Russia-Ukraine situation has garnered significant criticism, with 46% of respondents disapproving of his approach. Additionally, 56% of Americans believe Trump is directing the Justice Department to target his political enemies, a stark contrast to the 24% who disagree. This latest dip in Trump's approval ratings follows a similar trend in November, when he hit 38% in the Reuters/Ipsos poll, the lowest since his return to power. Initially, Trump began his second term with 47% approval ratings, but has since seen a significant decline. The ongoing Epstein row and concerns over his personal gain have likely contributed to this downward trend. The Economist/YouGov poll has a margin of error of 3.2%, highlighting the significance of these findings in the context of Trump's presidency.
