  • Donald Trump's approval rating has fallen to 40 per cent, marking the lowest point of his second presidential term, according to a new Reuters/Ipsos poll.
  • The poll indicates a sharp national divide, with 83 per cent of Republicans approving, but only three per cent of Democrats and a third of independents supporting his performance.
  • While approval for his handling of the economy and immigration policies saw slight increases, his overall rating has dropped by approximately 12 points since January.
  • Trump's approval among men has significantly declined, with a CBS/YouGov poll showing 47 per cent approval compared to 54 per cent before his second electoral victory.
  • The dip in ratings comes as some of his core supporters question his administration's handling of the 'Epstein files', despite earlier promises of transparency.
