A Reuters/Ipsos poll released April 24 found that 77% of registered U.S. voters say Trump bears at least fair responsibility for surging gas prices linked to his decision to launch war on Iran with Israel. The finding crosses party lines with 55% of Republicans, 82% of independents and 95% of Democrats blaming the president. This erosion in Trump's economic standing is significant—Republicans had a 14-point economic advantage right after his second term began in January 2025 but now hold only a 1-point lead.
