Donald Trump’s approval rating has hit its worst level during his two terms in office, with more than six in 10 Americans disapproving of the president’s job performance.

Trump’s rating is at its worst on the cost of living and other economic issues since launching his deeply unpopular war against Iran in February, which has plunged the global economy into an oil crisis and sent gas prices rocketing to a four-year high.

Two-thirds of Americans now feel the country is headed in the wrong direction.

    It’s probably more like 32-38% and they chose a 1-10 scale so they could round up for a better headline.

      still… there would be 2 to 3 people out of ten looking at the wannabe Nobel Peace Prize guy waging wars, at the “jobs are coming back to America” guy sending unemployment rates up, at the “we’ll end inflation” guy causing $5 gas prices… should I go on? But still 3/10 people are looking at all this and think “eh, we’re doing fine!”
